Haunted houses

1) The Funhouse (Dabney the Clown)

The clowns run Nightfall. Under Dabney’s command, this “fun” house turns laughter into screams. Enter their midway, but remember that their kind of fun can be deadly. Included with admission.

2) Guilliard Asylum

Jebediah Hyde reopens his father’s infamous madhouse for the criminally insane. Dark history, mistreatment, and experiments linger in every ward. Hyde is recruiting new test subjects. Included with admission.

3) Inferno

Descend into the hellfire pits of the underworld. Rotting corpses, spirits, and demons surround you. Avoid the gaze of the overlord or risk an eternity in the pits. Included with admission.

Scare zones

1) Clown Street

A gauntlet of maniacal clowns controls the streets. They hunt for screams, not laughter, and they’re very good at it. Included with admission.

2) The Coven

A hidden alleyway enclave where an evil coven barters living souls for the dead. Step lightly or become their next trade. Included with admission.

3) The Harvest

Each season, residents called to harvest vanish in the corn. Rumors tell of not-quite-human shapes in the stalks. Stick together and find your way out. Included with admission.

Live shows, rides, food, and merch

Nightfall layers in live entertainment, classic Old Tucson rides and attractions, craft food, creepy cocktails, and new 2025 merch across the park’s 22 acres. All details and show lineups post on the official page.

How to pick your night

Pro tips for a smooth scare

Wear closed-toe shoes suited for outdoor desert terrain and uneven surfaces.
Hydrate. Bring a sealed or empty personal plastic water bottle within policy limits. Fill stations available in restaurants.
Follow the clear bag policy. Adults should not wear costumes or bring props or masks.
Arrive early to hit the haunted houses first, then loop back for scare zones and shows.
