A local Halloween tradition, Scarizona Scareground, is ready to welcome thrill seekers from across the Valley for its 2022 season.

Officially opening on Oct. 1 and continuing through Halloween, Scarizona, 1901 N. Alma School Road in Mesa, features two haunted attractions and is recommended for those ages 12 and up. The annual event is a favorite among Valley thrill seekers, according to a release.

New this year, Scarizona is also featuring a Halloween-themed drive-thru light show, Frights in the Lights, a separate mile-long drive-thru event intended for families with young children and kids of all ages.

Prices for the haunted house events start at $24.95 per person. Prices for the drive-thru light show starting at $24.95 per car. Advance tickets go on sale Sept. 9 at scarizona.com and at frightsinthelights.com. Tickets will also be available at the gate.

“At Scarizona, we have been offering Valley residents a fun, haunting experience for years—it’s practically a local Halloween institution,” said Allen Thompson, owner and operator of Scarizona Scaregrounds. “This year, we’re excited to announce the addition of the Fright in the Lights, a one-mile Halloween-themed drive through light show that’s just for families. So, whether you love all things scary, or you’re looking for an experience that’s tailored to families, Scarizona will be here to help everyone get into the Halloween spirit.”

Scarizona takes place at the Thompson Event Center, near Loops 101 and 202 in Mesa. The venue hosts multiple events per year. After Scarizona, Valley families can look forward to the center’s return of Arizona Lights In The Night holiday-themed drive-thru light show, slated for Nov. 25, 2022-Jan. 2, 2023.
