New to Scarizona Scaregrounds
New this year, Scarizona is also featuring a Halloween-themed drive-thru light show, Frights in the Lights — a separate mile-long drive through event intended for families with young children and kids of all ages, the release states.
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 now 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, found near Loops 101 and 202 in Mesa. The venue hosts multiple events per year.
