Fear Farm – Phoenix’s Ultimate Haunted Attraction

🎃 Experience the Thrills & Chills of Fear Farm

📍 Location: 2209 N. 99th Avenue, Phoenix, AZ

This year, Fear Farm brings five haunted mazes plus a classic corn maze experience for those brave enough to enter. Unlike previous years, the attraction has removed the traditional hayride in favor of The Reaping corn maze, a decision met with mixed reactions. While the hayride drew long lines, the corn maze remains relatively quiet in comparison.

Fear Farm Haunted Mazes

👻 Featured Mazes:

• 🏚️ The Bunker – A dystopian nightmare filled with post-apocalyptic horror.

• 🔪 Slaughterhouse – Enter at your own risk and witness pure carnage.

• 🎃 Pumpkin Witch – Beware the sinister magic lurking within this eerie pumpkin patch.

• ☢️ Fallout – A radioactive wasteland of terror.

• 🦠 Plague – Escape the horrors of a virus-infested nightmare.

Ticket Prices & Fast Pass Options

🎟️ General Admission: $24.99 – $32.99 (varies by date)
⚡ Fast Pass Upgrade: +$10 (skip the lines!)

Pros & Cons of Fear Farm

✅ Pros:

• No need to purchase a Fast Pass – With multiple mazes, the wait times are spread out.

• Carnival games, food vendors & a mini escape room – Plenty of entertainment before and after the haunted experience.

• Reduced use of chainsaws in confined spaces – Enhancing the scare factor without overwhelming noise.

• Improved strobe light placement in Slaughterhouse – No direct flashes in guests’ eyes.

• Smoke-free environment – No smoking or vaping allowed, keeping the experience clean.

❌ Cons:

• Metal detectors at entry – Some guests feel it disrupts the haunted house atmosphere.

• Additional costs for games & activities – Expect to spend extra beyond ticket prices.

• Overcrowding with unsupervised teens – Some nights resemble a chaotic daycare rather than a haunted attraction.

• Paid VIP parking ($5) – No real added benefit given the parking lot’s size.

• No hayride – The biggest disappointment for many long-time visitors.

• Dusty environment – Wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for dust clouds.

• Sparse scare actors in some areas – Some rooms and hiding spots remain vacant.

• Lack of jump scares – Many actors act more as part of the scenery rather than creating true shock moments.

• Uneven ground throughout the mazes – Visitors should watch their step to avoid tripping.

• Weather-dependent event – Fear Farm has been rained out in previous years, so check the forecast before heading out.

🎃 Is Fear Farm Worth It? For those looking for a full haunted house experience with multiple mazes and extra entertainment, Fear Farm offers a solid night of Halloween fun. While some elements have been removed or altered this year, it remains one of Phoenix’s top haunted attractions.

👻 Dare to enter? Fear Farm awaits you!

Overall I love Haunted Houses, even bad ones, but if you ask me which is scarier, which is more worth the money, go to 13th Floor!
