Minnesota’s Scariest Haunted Attraction Opens This Weekend in Chaska

If you’re ready for adrenaline, Minnesota’s top-rated haunted attraction is opening for the season this Friday, September 26th. Scream Town, located in Chaska, isn’t your typical haunted house—it’s an entire five-acre thrill park built to terrify.

Why Scream Town Stands Out

Unlike smaller haunts that pop up in the weeks before Halloween, Scream Town is a year-round project. The team constantly improves the experience, and the results are nationally recognized. Google reviewers rank it as the #1 haunted attraction in Minnesota, and CNN even placed it among the Top 10 in the entire country.

What to Expect

Visitors will find seven different haunted attractions, from traditional haunted houses to immersive scare zones and an expanded Forest Trail. This wooded path features new creatures and psychological horror elements designed to keep guests on edge. With 90 live actors, the production level is more theatrical than gimmicky, making it an experience unlike any other in Minnesota.

Ticket Options

General admission tickets start at $24, which gets you into five attractions. VIP Fast Pass tickets ($48–$74) open all seven attractions with shorter waits. For the ultimate thrill, the Ultimate VIP pass ($90–$124) offers immediate entry and includes a ride on the Abandoned Hayride, Scream Town’s eerie sister attraction.

Location & Atmosphere

Scream Town is located at 7410 Highway 212 E in Chaska, just outside the Twin Cities. The remote setting adds to the experience—it sits on a dead-end road surrounded by woods, creating a natural backdrop that feels like the start of every horror movie.

Final Thoughts

If you’re looking for a fall adventure that goes beyond apple orchards and pumpkin patches, Scream Town should be at the top of your list. Whether you’re a die-hard thrill seeker or just looking for a night of spooky fun with friends, it delivers an unforgettable experience.
