Scarizona Scaregrounds is ready to welcome back locals to its frightening and fun annual attraction in Mesa.
Officially opening on Friday, Oct. 6, and continuing through Halloween, Scarizona features two haunted attractions and is recommended for those ages 12 and up, according to a release.
Thrills and chills not your speed? Scarizona is also featuring a Halloween-themed, mile-long drive-through light show, Frights in the Lights, intended for families with young children and kids of all ages.
All of this takes place at the Scarizona Scaregrounds, 1901 N. Alma School Road in Mesa. Prices for the haunted house events start at $24.95 per person. Prices for the drive through light show start at $24.95 per car. Advance tickets are on sale at scarizona.com and at frightsinthelights.com. Tickets will also be available at the gate.
“Scarizona has been a Valley Halloween mainstay for years, and we’re happy to be back this fall to continue that tradition,” Allen Thompson, owner and operator of Scarizona Scaregrounds, said in the release. “For families who prefer less scare and more fun, we are also home to Fright in the Lights, a one-mile Halloween-themed drive through light show. Both events will get you in 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 the Arizona Lights In The Night holiday-themed drive-thru light show, slated for late November 2023 to early January 2024.
