- SPECIAL EVENT - BLACKOUT: $26.99 + tax on November 4th. This ONE night event includes you and your friends AND ONE GLOW STICK. Upon arriving each group (NOT each person) is given ONE glowstick. then the fun begins when you enter the 13th Floor in total darkness where a horde of monsters roam freely, equipped with the night vision, they see you, but you may not see them.
My two Cents
13th Floor has the benefit of being able to build inside a building and so scenes, props and animatronics far outweigh that of Fear Farm. However, the trade off comes in the length of the line. First you want to buy your tickets ahead of time or you will wait in two lines. Second, I suggest paying the extra for the front of the line if you do not enjoy waiting. They also have some entertainment, such as dancing mummies to help. You are far more likely to jump and run scared in this haunted house attraction compared to fear farm.

Fear Farm will go back to its roots and deliver the original Fear Farm experience. Enter a labyrinth of corn with only a glow stick to light your path while exploring acres of maze filled with deranged maniacs waiting for you to get lost.
Phoenix Haunted Hayride: Add $10 to your ticket and experience a 10-acre nighttime ride through the cornfields in a trailer of loose hay being pulled by a tractor while experiencing a themed haunt.
My two Cents
Though Fear Farm is fun, I have been 3 times so far this year with various groups, it does lack in some areas. The scenes and props are pretty good, no doubt. Where the fear lacks is in the scare actors who more or less stand in a corner screaming at you, rather than hide, jump and surprise you. Also, over use of chainsaws, which are not as scary as they are loud and smelly. You will also be prone to splinters from all the wood you come in contact with. I suggest getting the tickets as cheap as possible to make this haunted attraction feel worth the value. There is also no need to spend the money on front of the line tickets, as there are separate lines for each of the 5 houses, which reduces the wait time. Especially if you pick the order to do each one based on the length of the line. I also recommend the hayride, although it is not as good this year with the clowns as last years Wendigo theme, it is worth while.
