Scout Island Scream Park

Each fall, the monsters and mysteries of the Scout Island Scream Park Halloween Festival awaken for a monthlong carnival of illusion. Drop your kids off at the Kids' Zone (a safe, fright-free zone with old-fashioned tractor-pulled hay wagons, arts & crafts, a Haunted Mansion bounce house, carnival rides, and magical performances by the Boogie Spooktacular), get your thrills at the many carnival rides and your freakies at the themed Fright Zones—which include "My Bloody Homecoming" (with the special "Vampies Drive-In Theater"), "The Coven," "The Temple of Medusa," "The Kraken Pirate Pub and Music Hall," "and the The Balderdash Boutique." Haunted Attractions include the "Devils Swamp Haunted Terror Tour," the "Zombie Outbreak Battlefield," "Pharoah's Fury," "Stitch's Body Emporium," and more. Tickets range from $20–$79 packages. Every weekend in October, and Tuesday–Thursday of Halloween week. scoutislandscreampark.com.
