Scarefest Scream Park, a family-owned 50-acre Halloween park in Lenox Township, Michigan, is celebrating its 20th anniversary season, reaffirming its status as a cornerstone of Michigan's autumn landscape. Since its founding in 2006, the park has become deeply embedded in Macomb County, employing hundreds of local residents and supporting local charitable organizations each year.
This milestone season features the park's signature blend of fear and fun, with attractions ranging from family-friendly to intensely thrilling. Guests can enjoy nightly stage entertainment, Halloween movies, roaming ghouls, photo opportunities, bonfires, and a heated bar tent, all while using the park's virtual queue system to avoid long lines.
The park offers four main haunted attractions, each unique in its theme and level of intensity. The Castle of the Dead is an 8,000-square-foot haunted house where guests face terrors lurking just beyond the doors. The Hayride of Doom is a family-friendly, narrated ride following a researcher and his AI assistant as they navigate the aftermath of a viral outbreak. The Forest of Darkness is a haunted walk along the Salt River, through the woods alongside specters of death. The Terror Zone Maze is a thrilling dark maze packed with twists, strobes, 3D effects, and terror at every dead end.
Before the official October season, Scarefest is hosting two exclusive special event weekends catered toward adults 21+. Ghouls Night Out, scheduled for September 18 and 19 from 7 PM to 12 AM, offers a unique twist on "girls night out" with an evening of spooky fun and creative activities.

BBQ, Bourbon & Boos, set for September 25 and 26 from 7 PM to 12 AM, combines the crisp night air with the warmth of aged oak and hickory smoke. This weekend features a live band, local bourbon and whiskey tastings, and amazing barbecue food selections.
