Press Release from Valleyfair:

Minneapolis, MN (April 2, 2024) – Officials at Valleyfair today announced the return of ValleyScare, Minnesota’s largest Halloween event, with an expanded lineup of thrills and chills to welcome in the bewitching season this fall.

ValleyScare will be more intense than ever, offering six immersive haunted mazes, including three new creepy mazes, three redesigned frightening scare zones, tons of eerie entertainment, and delectable Halloween-inspired food and beverage options. In addition, guests can experience some of their favorite thrill rides while the moon is high. For those looking for a more family-friendly experience, Tricks and Treats is also returning with day-time Halloween fun this fall.  

Key features of ValleyScare include:

• ValleyScare will be operating select Fridays and Saturdays, September 21 through October 26, 2024.

• In a change from previous years, ValleyScare will be a stand-alone event requiring a separate ticket.

• ValleyScare admission is included with the purchase of a Gold Season Pass.

• Event tickets for non-passholders will go on sale later this summer.

• In addition to our existing chaperone policy, a bag policy will also be enforced during ValleyScare.

Raul Rehnborg, vice president and general manager for Valleyfair, said guests have been clamoring for the return of this fan-favorite event. “We heard you loud and clear, and I am excited to welcome back our talented team of monsters to bring the scares back to our park for the Halloween season,” Rehnborg enthused. “The return of ValleyScare adds an incredible amount of value to our Gold Season Pass. We can’t wait for you to eagerly plunge into all the frighteningly fun, thrill-filled festivities.”
