Visit Oaks Park ScareGrounds for a scary good time this October.
During the Halloween season, Oaks Park hosts its very own local haunted attraction, ScareGrounds. As night falls, monsters of all shapes and sizes transform the beloved amusement park into an attraction of horrors.
Here are all the details about the 2025 event.
2025 Oaks Park ScareGrounds
ScareGrounds features three immersive haunted houses open on select nights in October. Along with the haunted houses are thrill rides, sideshow attractions, games, food and beverages.
Haunted Attractions
Here are the descriptions for each of the ScareGrounds three main attractions:
Forbidden Fortress
Step into a crumbling fortress, cursed by a possessed warlord and his court. Journey through chilling halls, face spectral horrors as torch‑lit corridors make twists and turns like catacombs. Can you escape the fortress before it traps you?
Slayers
Join the ranks as you step inside a secret organization of modern-day monster hunters. Traverse treacherous terrains and ancient realms while confronting unspeakable monstrosities and face the unknown. Test your courage, sharpen your skills and confront the most fearsome adversaries imaginable.
The Silver Scream
The projectionist has returned. Step inside his decrepit movie palace and prepare for a horrifying experience. With your coveted silver ticket in hand, prepare to be thrust into the heart of a new chilling horror marathon. Encounter the most infamous villains of horror cinema unleashed from the silver screen.
There are also sideshow attractions, including Oaks Park rides, Carn-Evil Funhouse, The Complex Blackout, Trap House and Zombie Archery. In addition to the attractions are food and drinks and a haunted vendor market.
