ValleySCARE Haunt at Valley Fair

I’ve come here before. This year has been far the worst. Over packed and over priced. My friends and I went on one ride and two haunted houses. It’s a waste of 83 dollars.

I have been going here ever year for the last decade. This is always a good place to celebrate early Halloween and have a great time.
They have a variety of activities to take party of: haunted hay ride, games, little shows, mazes, just to name a few. This place switches up the list of activities almost every year, with the exception of the haunted hay ride. They always put on a good show with these activities. The hay ride is my favorite.
The art designs and the actors are fantastic. There are moments when I feel like I am watching a horror movie in the theater. The artists and the actors behind this whole thing obviously go out of their ways to make sure everybody has a good time. They also like to scare as many people as they can, which I think is one of their purposes.
The lay-​out of this place is great. Everything is arranged well so I can find my way around easily. Everything is labeled well so I don’t have to struggle with finding what I am looking for.
A suggestion I would make is to keep expanding it every year. They get enough people every year that I think they can pull off an expansion well.
As long as I keep having a good time here, I will continue coming here every year. I feel like I can get a little more into the Halloween spirit with this amusement park.

From a Californians point of view, I’ve been to many different amusement parks for Halloween and its reminds me of knotts scary farm. For the price it’s pretty good! Not best actors… but can’t complain for $ 35 a person. I went on a Saturday and longest wait times was 30mins a maze. Which is nothing compared to universal studios in Cali. Better actors and that place would of been awesome!

My boyfriend and I are huge nerds for Haunted Houses and we had a great time at Valley Scare. Yes there will be a ton of teenagers running around, yes everything is very overpriced and yes every maze has a very long line. But if you can get past those things you’ll have a good time. Also, the rides are open so if you want to mix it up with a coaster or two you can.
We went the first weekend of the season and it was busier than we expected so I’m sure closer to Halloween it will be very busy. We were able to make it to all the mazes but it did take a few hours.
I thought each maze was well done with the expectation of the first one we went into — something about a farm or corn, it was forgettable. All the others were great though — I got a few good screams in all of them.
Only real bummer is the additional charge for parking. It’s not like you have a choice to park elsewhere and you’d think it’d be included considering the cost of admission. Oh well, it was still fun.

ValleyFair is expensive, and this time is no exception. Watch for the special All day Saturdays, Sunday specials and online discounts. They also sell discount tickets at Cub foods.
The pros would be the benefit of short lines on the best rides, especially when it starts getting chilly. The haunted houses/​mazes are pretty well done and generally worth a moderate wait. If you’re mainly interested in the rides, though, I would suggest asking around for the scariest one and not wasting too much time if there are long lines for them.
I was able to get my fill of all my favorite rides and barely wain in ANY lines on the last Saturday it was open.
It beat the heck out of waiting in the sunshine for a half hour each, that’s for sure. It’s pretty cool to ride the roller coasters by moonlight, and they fog the HECK out of the whole park (don’t go here is you have any weird allergies to fog juice… you will die.

This place is high priced for sure. There is a lot to do but even the parking is overpriced.
