Scary Acres

Scary Acres opened its gates in 2002. However it's history in Omaha goes way back to the year 1993 and began with the Train of Terror at Peony Park on Cass St. The Scary Acres Management team was commissioned to run a Halloween Attraction within the Peony Amusement Park. Peony Park sadly closed its gates that year.

And then... "Fright Zone", a state of the art haunt in Millard Plaza was born. A closed down health club was turned into a frightening adventure in Omaha showcasing such things as: live snakes in a crawl through tunnel, an indoor "outdoor graveyard", and a killer clown hallway.

During this time the Scary Acres management team began building their own animatronics that they showcased at various tradeshows and sold to other haunts around the country. They were also involved in building haunts for other hauntrepreneurs in and out of Nebraska.

In 1996 "Fright Zone" was moved downtown into an abandoned 9-unit apt complex at 17th & California. It took months to reconstruct the 9-unit apt complex into a multi-level terrifying attraction. Patrons would enter the building and see half of the attraction and then be led outside through the outdoor fog filled graveyard in the middle of the attraction. The musty odors and the dim lighting contributed to the overall ambience of the building. Workers swear that the building was actually haunted which made Fright Zone as terrifying in the daylight as it was in the evening and brought the scares to another dimension.

The warehouse next door to Fright Zone was acquired and turned into "Fear Factory" which was a massive one level haunt that centered around an alley and had killer clown rooms and much more. But then Omaha's growth gave way to the sale of "Fright Zone", which was replaced with the Creighton University Soccer Field.

And then... "Scary Acres" was born. Over 30 acres of terror including:
1) a full size "Master's Castle" with a large outdoor graveyard.
2) The "Haunted Woods", an outdoor path cut along the creek surrounded by trees.
3) "the Stalks" Corn Maze which is completely different from one year to the next and has only one way in and one way out, if you are able to find your way out at all.
4) "House on the Hill", a full size house atop the hill surrounded by corn field.

"Scary Acres" continues to attract repeat visitors each year due to the numerous room changes that are made every single year providing new scares and upgrades.

"Scary Acres" has a full surveillance system, monitored 24 hours a day and nightly security to continue to keep Scary Acres a safe place to bring your family. A full food concession and fire pits are available at no charge to keep you warm in the fall and to make this a top Halloween "Must See"!
