Open select nights each fall, it’s a full-scale Halloween festival packed with heart-pounding horror, food, drinks, side shows, theme park rides, vendor market, and more. Whether you’re a seasoned scare-seeker or a first-time visitor, Scaregrounds PDX is where fear comes to life.

A: Yes! These Portland haunted houses are intense, high-production haunted attractions designed to scare and thrill. That said, our guests often say the adrenaline rush is more fun than fear.

If you end up not getting to all the houses before the end of your hour, you can still finish going through the houses prior to the park closing. The purpose of the time blocks is to reduce long lines and ensure everyone can have a great experience.

We recommend push chairs while attending the event.

A: Yes. Theatrical fog, and lighting effects including strobe lighting are in use on this property, if you have health problems that could be affected by strobe lighting or artificial fog you should not enter. Loud noises, jump scares, and environments that leverage phobias (darkness, small spaces, clowns, and more) are a part of the show and may not be suitable for all. Use good judgement and enter at your own risk.

A: We at ScareGrounds PDX all love our furry friends, but due to the larger crowds and noise levels at our event we recommend your dogs stay home while you come out to enjoy the Halloween fun. Service animals are permitted in the general areas but must be leashed at all times. Service animals will not be permitted to enter the haunted attractions; this is for their safety. ScareGrounds PDX crew members are not permitted to take control of a service animal, however we can offer a group split option so your service animal can wait at the exit for you with someone in your party and they will be given a immediate entry through our VIP line after.

A: We recommend guests make a full night of it and experience ALL the Attractions and rides the park has to offer. However, for guests who only go through the main three haunted house attractions, be prepared to stay at the event for at least an hour; if not longer depending on queue lines and the attractions you wish to visit. While all groups travel at different paces, all three of our haunted houses take approximately ten minutes each to complete and there are a variety of other attractions and things to do around the grounds. We have a HARD CLOSE at our listed closing times. Guests should try to show up at least an hour prior to closing to ensure that they have ample time to experience as much as possible at the ScareGrounds this year!

If you prefer shorter wait times, consider visiting at less popular dates/times such as our opening weekend or Sundays.

A: Welcome to the Pacific Northwest! The show must go on and we will remain open regardless of rain, snow, or other weather conditions. While parts of the attractions are under cover, it is an outdoor event and much of the park is open to the elements. Consult the forecast before purchasing tickets if attending during adverse weather is a concern. There will be no refunds due to weather conditions.
