Fear Farm Haunted House Phoenix AZ

Had a great time at Fear Farm. The haunted houses where great and the effects, lighting and sets where fantastic. The clown house and its 3D effects was my favorite. All the houses where really well done and the actors did a great job. Took my 10 granddaughter and she loved, the actor where great with her and kept it appropriate for her when she got a little to scared, they didnt over due it which made it great. We will be back next year for sure.

If you ever had the privilege attending the old fear farm way out west in an actual cornfield then you will be greatly disappointed as I was from my understanding. Fear farm was sold to the 13th floor, which makes a lot of sense. I remember paying an entry fee going into the park, actually getting lost the staff would not help you and they were more enthusiastic about Frightening you. They actually chased you with chainsaws not just if they felt like it. I saw them turning them on a handful of times and stop within 10 seconds. I can recall a clown exhibit being one of the most terrifying ones with the two famous clowns, making an appearance once a week and now the clown exhibit is the saddest one with nothing more than you walking down the same hallway and people just standing in the middle of the hall. what fear firm is now is good for younger kids, but if you’re a teen or older, it’s quite sad. It was also surprising that the corn maze that has no corn at all and is falsely advertised on their website is nothing but a bunch of hay bills and five minute tops to find your way out. It’s also an extra $10 a person to my surprise. You can only make the run ones. Overall not very good, not very scary and one exhibit in particular (mortuary) fun the first go around. When we went in a second time the first actor at the entrance was hitting what looked like a wax/vape type pen which was very unsettling and unprofessional. The decorations were cool and I’m sure there was effort in putting it together but the energy is not there and unless you have little kids it’s not worth the money.

We had such a great time at Fear Farm as always… Never disappoints! Love the new attractions too…The 3D haunted clown house was a favorite. And those chain saws (I feel like there were more this year lol) make me run every time lol 😆 Fear Farm brings the jump scares and fun to the Halloween season in an open and festival-like setting. Thank you for an amazing and memorable night!

I went on a Tuesday night with friends and the noticeable absence of characters present to scare us was lackluster. (Kraken ghost ship house was a complete snooze.) I would blame it on the fact that it’s a weekday but I don’t think that should be an excuse when you pay over $50 to go to the general admission hh’s. There’s also like two other hh’s you have to pay more for also. I hope they improve next year as I love hh’s!

Only thing I enjoyed was the $20 turkey leg (which are cheaper at Disneyland). I don’t leave reviews, but I just had to share/warn of the disappointment. We have gone multiple years in the past back when it was over by Tolleson/Avondale area. So trust me when I tell you this year it was an TOTAL LET DOWN! Each attraction they sent large groups in; rushing everyone in and through which takes away from the fear factor. Each attraction was structured the same, a small bit of the actual “haunted house” and then just a bunch of maze like walking. Which I wouldn’t have mind, but each attraction had only 8-10 actors throughout the whole thing. A lot of nothing going on and then just someone popping out to just scream at you. SOOOO MUCH MISSED OPPORTUNITY AND TOTAL BOREDOM!! Won’t ever go again.

Went twice this year and enjoyed both times. I was surprised to see that some sets had evolved between the times I went. The slaughter house and phobia were definitely my favorite. There were some actors and employees there that seemed to care a lot more than others. The carver in slaughter house running his blade across the wall while following you was also intense! Love all of that. The axe throwing is as really cool, the guy was very helpful and kind. He taught my daughter how to make it stick. We also adored the female clown that wandered around. In the first house in the right, there was a lady at the front in a dress that was really kind to my daughter when she was scared. I appreciated that. The new pig in slaughter house literally made me jump scream even though it was just a prop. We paid for premium parking and VIP, so I can’t comment about the lines but I will say it was great not having to wait on a school/work night. Walk right up and walk right in, score! I will agree that some of it just felt like excessive mazes, feedback for next year. If short on actors, incorporate more prop jump scares, those actually were pretty legit and then it was funny to get scared by a prop. Zombie experience was a bummer, it was super short and we didn’t see very many zombies. When time was up, I had only use about 20% of the beads. I am glad I didn’t pay for it separately. Lemonade was tasty and refreshing, though pricy. Overall, we had an awesome experience both times we went.

Had a great time at the haunted houses! The scare actors/actresses here were super fun. The 3D house was super neat, even standing in lines is super entertaining here. The outfits, the make up, the set ups are absolutely well done! However, the skip the shooting range if you go. Not worth the extra money at all. The “zombies” (there was one basically the whole time- a second one came out for a blip just to move a mannequin) who just walked in a circle with zero interaction. No cool sounds like they’re doing in the haunted houses, no reaction to getting hit, just absolutely boring. Completely killed the night, we went home afterwards and skipped on the rest of the extra attractions because of that.

We were excited to check out Fear Farm for the first time, but it turned out to be a total letdown from start to finish. The haunted houses were basically empty mazes with very few scare actors, and the few that were there didn’t bring any real scares — it felt lazy and rushed. The food was overpriced and not worth it at all. The photo truck experience was the worst part: the worker was extremely rude. When we asked for a refund, she got visibly upset, snatched the QR code from my wife’s hand, and just threw a random photo at us without even letting us choose. Totally unprofessional and unnecessary. The zombie shooting station was broken — none of the guns were working — and we didn’t get a refund for that either. Honestly, there was nothing redeeming about the experience. For the price, you expect atmosphere, scares, and at least decent service. Instead, it was empty, unorganized, and rude. 👎 We won’t be coming back. First time, and definitely the last.

Fear Farm was a good time but not very scary this year. The scariest part is what we paid for it. They had a bar with a few mixed drinks and canned beers which was a good addition this year. There were also a lot of food vendors but everything was extremely pricey. Two fast pass tickets, parking, food, a few drinks and two tickets for the "extra scary" haunted attraction cost 270 bucks, ouch! They also have 5 carnival rides, zombie shooting, and a corn maze but each of those also comes at an additional fee.

Well I took my nephew and had a great time. Besides the actors working it, the crowds always take the show. The clowns and beings with chainsaws chasing unsuspecting victims is classic fear farm antics that is worth the price of admission. The atmosphere was gruesome and spooktacular!!! Safety concerns are met by visible medical and police presence to ensure fun for all. Concession prices are a bit high but no different than going to a state fair. We had a good time for a few hours for under a $100. Go make some scary memories.

I was really excited to go after reading the reviews. I was in town for the weekend so we decided to get some tickets to this event. Ticket type: front of the line Day: Saturday @ 8pm 1. The line to get to the parking lot was insane but it was organized. 2. Even though we didn't have much to take in (I had a clear bag) the searching was not enough. I think they need to focus on better security 3. Typical fair foods & price. I was looking forward to a turkey leg but man the price was scary. 4. The mazes. What can I say? The building and theming was pretty good. However, they were was a lot of missed scared opportunities. I did not get scared at all. I thought paying for a better ticket meant that there wouldn't be much people in the mazes but it felt like a conga line in there It was an experience for sure but I am glad that I didn't pay for the corn maze. I would've been pissed spending more than what I needed to and not being satisfied with the mazes.

The park is well located close to a major shopping center and central to most that live on the west. Downside to the location is that it's on a lot with no fountain just grass and dirt. The center of the park has mulch down which helped but by the end of the night I couldn't breathe from how much dirt I had inhaled. When I got home my chest hurt and I had sinus issues. I saw extremely young children there and I can't imagine how they did after that. The attraction has really great ideas that just fall short. As a former volunteer actor and a lover of horror it wasn't what you'd expect from such a valuable spot. The houses have not changed since my first time in 2021. They have no story line as you walk through only a theme. The actors don't emerge you in the fantasy. If there even were actors!! For the parking being sold out there were rarely any scares or actors. It wasn't frightening! They also send everyone in line all at once there is no spacing between groups which makes it feel rushed and makes the haunt feel like just decorative. The actors that entertained the center plaza were more engaging and fun to watch. There were additions made: the phobia, zombies, carnival and axe throwing. (They are not included in the $40 admission) The bathrooms are portable, they stunk and were not being maintained. I refused to use them. The food was better than anything at the park. Merch was reasonably priced and our photo op was nicely done but it's $20 dollars to receive your photo. Parking was a nightmare and took forever, we ended up paying to get into the VIP lot. Overall, if you want to try this park. Be aware that it's not worth the money and it might feel like a scam. My 13 year old brother wasn't scared. You may have a different experience, hope this helps the park and future customers! I would attend again if something changes.

Me and my sister and other family members have been coming here the last 8 years. At first it was great, but going there a few days ago it was horrible no actors and the few they had in the mazes were sitting down or talking to each other. Me and my family decided we won't be going there anymore, we are going to go to a different venue next year.

Mannnnnnn did this place have me on my toes. I brought my girl here to act tough... she ended up going through all the mazes by herself after I pissed my pants within the first five minutes.

I should have known better when the ticket booth of this place sounded more like a used car dealership trying to oversell. Overpriced, underwhelming and the fact that you have to have your ticket scanned at every haunted house even though every haunted house is included in the general admission ticket in inconvenient. They charge for a flex pass to avoid the line after the ticket booth but it makes no worldly sense to make you stand in line for the ticket then walk past the entrance into another line for the entrance. You have to wear a wristband for the carnival rides, why not just make the haunted houses a wristband as well. There's no order to the lines for the carnival rides and it was hard to know which ride you were getting in line for. The place is extremely dusty. It was hard to breathe while standing in line in certain areas. Some houses had someone stopping you to see your ticket before getting into the line then again at the end of the line before entering the house. So many unnecessary steps became annoying and made the overall experience unenjoyable. Make sure you have your ticket saved to your phone because service can be choppy, especially within the crowded lines. The houses lacked actors and the actors present lacked the fear factor. They wandered around looking lost like the rest of us. The only guy with a chainsaw was torn between the general walking area, a haunted house and some of the lines for the other houses. It seemed more sad watching him run around than scary, to be honest. Also, can't help but wonder how he was still cohesive enough to do it all while constantly inhaling the fumes of the gas because I was near him for a short amount of time and it was enough to make my head hurt. The corn maze was the highlight of my night. A nice walk with a cool breeze. It was fun while that lasted. But sure wasn't worth the $140 we spent to get in and I probably won't be coming back in the future. If no changes are made, I wouldn't recommend going to it now

I had a great time the actors were funny, and scary at the same time. I would definitely recommend going. Sike I lied it's actually shit.

Fear farm needs to hire actual actors not teenagers. Literally went through all your houses and wasn't scared once. Maybe you need to train your employees to scare even when crowds are coming next. I literally walked by your "scare actors" and they just stared at me in the haunted house once they scared the crowd in front of me. Super lame because fearfarm used to be scary and exciting the early 2000s. Not sure whats going on but maybe you guys need to scout for better actors. Fearfarm continues to disappoint.

I just got here and already got the poop scared out of my good god. My first time here in years

It definitely wasn't Better then all the other years the corn maze was boring not worth your money .I felt there weren't many actors but over all I had a good time just didn't like that they weren't many actors

I don't understand the bad reviews? My family of 5 (20 yr old, 16 yr old, 11 year old) and 18 yr old cousin and 11 year old friend went to Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights in Hollywood 2 years in a row at $459 for each VIP ticket. This year we took the same party to Fear Farm and spent $104 per ticket for VIP. Fear Farm was way more scarier, more fun and better production and visuals overall! It was amazing! The actors were fantastic, the costumes and sets incredible. The haunted houses were long and so well built. I thought we'd be done in 1 hour, no way! There is so much to do and see it took us 3 hours! In the end, Fear Farm is far superior than Universal Studios. It's worth $104 even without VIP. Will definitely be back next year!!!!

This place wasn't even that scary. My man took me here and ended up pissing his pants and leaving me to go through the mazes by myself. If you come make sure to bring a brave person with you... and maybe a change of pants

Scary asf highly recommended it to everyone . We got here and got scared with the zombies walking around

We went this past weekend and we're impressed with the production value for the price. It is well laid out and the actors were entertaining. We were hesitant based on past poor reviews but glad we took the chance and went. My advice, get there early, the lines can get kind of long. Wish we had gotten the season passes, but we will for sure next year.

$5 to park, $220 for 5 basic tickets. The 4 attractions moved ok I guess but they were extremely lame. I don't scare easily but my wife does and she jumped once and it was from noise not visual.. would not recommend for anyone looking for thrills this place is for children at best but at those prices yeesh.. no thank you, will be our last time

Great actors amazing sets - so much fun! The clowns are intense wear your tennis shoes cause u might have to RUN!

If you're looking for a fun night with friends, Fear Farm is definitely the place! They not only have haunted houses/mazes, but rides as well! Their merch booth was so great and had lots of fun options. Emily was one of the staff members who helped and she was absolutely incredible! All the staff and actors are all very friendly and nice.

There is so much work that goes into creating Fear Farm - lots of imagination and creativity went into manufacturing each attraction. I give 5 stars for this. The actors were great as well. They stayed in character and were adequately scary. There were also enough actors throughout each attraction that you remained frightened during the entire experience. We went on the first Sunday of October and opted to not upgrade to a Fast Pass or Skip the Line. General admission worked just fine and we waited no more than 10 minutes for each attraction. However, if you are going closer to Halloween, I do think it would be worth it to upgrade tickets as I can imagine how long the lines get. The downside to this event was all of the dust. I felt like I was breathing dust in constantly. I'm not sure what the solution to this is, perhaps lightly misting the dirt with water beforehand? The dust was definitely a problem though. The parking was free and not too far of a walk. I would not pay the extra $10 to park closer unless you really don't want to walk the extra 100 yards. There were two food stands selling typical carnival food and a small stand selling t-shirts and such. Unfortunately no pumpkin patch or any other amenities. All in all, I think the ~$30 for the 4 attractions (corn maze is an extra charge) was semi worth it. It was a good experience, but could have been better. Still, it was a good way to start spooky szn!

Mid-farm Paid $52 after tax for a skip the line pass. It was nice being able to avoid the longer lines but in the end we did everything in 40min. Most of the actors are meh but definitely some shining stars in and outside the mazes that bring it back. Plenty of places to get snakes and nonalcoholic drinks (no alcohol served inside or allowed) All in all it's a fun hour TOPS if you've never been but don't recommend this if you're looking for a night out or something you'd return to do.

Worst experience and not worth the money. I took my son and his friend for his birthday. The lines were long and then We were rushed through each haunted house, so there wasn't time for the actors to reset to scare us. The dead mans wharf was a joke. A bunch of bubbles but no scare factor whatsoever. None of the haunts were scary at all, it felt like we were just walking through abandoned buildings. I'm more scared to go to my corner walgreens at night than going to Fear farm. Truly disappointing, do not recommend

Horribly disappointing!! This event has gone down so much since 2018. It's become more commercialized and "fair" like. Such a waste of time, money, energy and life just attending this attraction. Typically I don't let others reviews influence me, but This time I'm sad and mad that I didnt stay my butt at home. We'll never return to Fear Farm as long as it stays like this!!

Horribly overpriced for 4 -yes four, haunted houses. We finished in an hour, with the fast pass, and that is with stopping to pee and eat. Not at all like it was prior to COVID. No pyrotechnics at all. No fog/smoke. Rare jump scare. Inexperienced actors. Even hip hop music in Rob Zombie's haunt. Ugh. Probably the last time unless someone can explain to me what happened and when it'll return to its former glory.

I would give the zero stars but that's not an option! This venue is not handicap accessible at all. Seems strange considering they donate tickets to veterans and many are service injured. They have ADA accessible parking, but the facility is not accessible, it makes no sense. If you're disabled in anyway, don't go.

I used to LOVE this place when I was younger. We spent about $80 total (2 of us plus fast pass) and all of the attractions took us only 35 minutes. There was maybe 10 people working inside each maze. This was extremely disappointing. Might be fun for younger kids?

The corn maze was great! The haunted houses are super interactive and scary. Family friendly.

Had balls of fun, i went with a group of friends. scare actors were great, nautical nightmare was my fav!

So fun and scary! Lines were very quick!! My favorite attraction was the mermaid themed area!

It was so fun!! The maze was great you get a lamp to walk around with it's great when your phone dies.

The scariest part about this place is the prices for food, drinks, etc. The houses were beyond boring. Lines are insane not only for specifically the houses, but for parking as well. Good luck.

So much fun!! So worth the tickets and wait. Obviously there's always going to be something that isn't perfect. I wish the Hollow House (Clown house) was scarier but I also think that's due to the time we went in. It was almost closing time so actors were ending their shifts which is understandable. (Lots of people don't realize that some of these actors are running around and in heavy costumes/holding heavy equipment so it gets exhausting). As for the prices of tickets.....gotta be smarter and get those presale tickets (so much cheaper!!) 10/10 definitely recommend!! I can't wait until next year!!!!!!

Fun atmosphere, great actors. Multiple haunts. The corn maze is a blast. Great food. Check them out.

A little underwhelming. Can't believe what I saw though. Saw a couple fighting at the entrance of Carnage. I look over and the man is crying with piss all over his pants!!! Poor guys wife was screaming at him. I went over to make sure they were okay. Crazy first time experience.

Amanda at upgrades was super helpful and honest about the rides when I asked her what was good! attractions have been getting progressively worse over the years however it is more family friendly nowadays!

Very good I was running hella it's scary asf it's worth going with friends and have a good time

First time at Fear farm it's fun and the lines go pretty quickly the employees were so nice and helpful.

Terrible experience. There was a worker/actor that had a spray hose with water and he came up to me. I plead with him not to spray me in the face over and over again and he walked up to me and put it 2 inches away from my face and soaked me. Not once but twice. I even grabbed the hose to push it away and he kept going. So disrespectful. I've been to over 30 haunted houses and when someone tells someone to stop they always stop. This guy was rude and ruined the whole experience because I had to walk around soaked. Definitely do not recommend this place. Never going back again.

My Girlfriend and her Daughter have been here in the past and always raved about the whole production and how it gave them a great scream. My expectations were pretty high, but the result was gravely disappointing. Each attraction had very few people, even my Girlfriend was amazed at how not interactive it was as compared to last year. The only thing they had in abundance was loud chainsaw motors all over the place. We had the fast pass feature which was great, I would have been pissed to wait in those long lines and be disappointed like I was. What we did like was the Escape Room feature! That is a must try!

Our group of four purchased tickets for the 9:45 slot. Upon arrival we were told not to scan them and to come another day cause they closed at 10 which google said otherwise. We drove 2 hours to get there. And arrived at our time. We spoke to a manager, Kyle, who was very rude and refused to give a last name or shake my hand. He said that we would not be able to get a refund and that we had to go to the box office to switch the tickets. I asked if I could go in to the box office because it was before 10, closing time, and he said no it closes at 9:30. I asked how I was supposed to know that information and the only thing he said was "I just told you" There are no posted times on the website and the workers were not helpful at all. And now I have 4 useless tickets that I paid over 100 dollars for and wasted 4 hours of gas money for. Horrible experience. This establishment cannot take criticism or answer simple questions. I will try everything I can to get my money back, and I would advise not wasting yours on a company that has no sense of awareness.

Not scary at all due to lack of workers in the mazes and almost no jump scares, but whatever, some people may still enjoy it. However, when some of the actors saw I wasn't scared, instead of upping their scare game they resorted to insults. Feels unnecessary and rude-- I won't be coming back.

We loved it. The spooks had high energy. And while walking through the area people constantly scaring people. Had some great jump scares. Loved funhouse the most. Only complaint. We had to pay extra for corn maze. And when we wanted to get it we would have had to gone out of park to wait again. We were going to buy but passed. Should have someone by maze that could sell it. Would have A lot more people buying them

I paid $200 for four people to go, it was so busy and took forever to even find a parking spot. Then we get into the haunted house for there to be like four actors who don't even scare you, then just stand there and talk. Not a haunted house at all. It's not what it used to be. It looks like they spent more money and time on the look of the haunted house rather than the fact that you're supposed to scare people. Waste of money and time.

Soooo I went with 2 other people and the lines were so long, like a 2+ hour wait to get in and for each haunted house but the worst part is there is like 3 actors in each so there's no scares at all. All that wait for 2 minutes of walking. If you're gonna go, refund your tickets or don't buy them. The time and money is not worth it at all!!!!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY AND TIME

This was the worst haunted house I've ever been to. It sounds so promising - 4 houses. They were all literally the same. You stroll through corn, you end up in a small room with no room to scare you, you find people with chainsaws at the end. Every location was brightly lit, and the effort was low. It was hard to tell if the actors were other guests or not at times, due to the fact they would be wearing normal clothes and no theming outside of black smudges on their face. Another problem is how densely packed this was. Luckily, I got the fast pass so I didn't have to waste my time on this garbage and went mostly right to the front. The girls letting people in made zero effort to pause groups, so it was just a constant flow of traffic. Actually it got so packed you had to walk pretty slow. Please please do not waste a dime on this place.

Great place if your scared of clowns & chainsaws. There's about 5 houses to go in and in one you need to bend down abit and another you need to crawl thru a bit. There's a haunted hayride which they stop and make you get off and walk thru the corn maze while clowns come after you. There's vendors to sell food there. There's free parking unless you want to pay for VIP. Great place to have fun with family and friends.

After 9 hours driving to this event, waiting in line over 4 hours to include waiting to speak to a manager we were completely disappointed on the performance. Online when purchasing tickets it was supposed to be for 5 attractions not including the corn maze There was only 4. While waiting on the ticket line to speak to a manager a crew member asked what we needed help with and we explained the false advertising and then tried to argue with me so I went to a manager. During explaining to the manager why I'm upset and disappointed, the crew member proceeded to listen in and laugh in my face. After speaking with a manager she said she would refund the tickets until a younger man came up and denied any refund and told us we should have read the website better. Even though the website says 5 attractions included in general and can add on corn maze for more money. I am at complete awe at how we were treated not to mention the Circus Clown maze was the longest wait and yet we didn't have a single actor do anything just stood there and let us walk by. No scare no act nothing. The false advertising mixed with poor performance and little to no interaction with anyone made this completely a waste of my and my families time. I've been to Fear Farm every year and have never been disappointed until now. I've been raving about this event all year and couldn't wait to go. You lost a fan and adventure goer, I will never be back. Thanks for a waste of money and time. The fact that this is being completely ignored is ridiculous.

All haunted houses in Phoenix have done a steady decline over the years, including Fear Farm. This year was the worst, with the least amount of actors in any area, couldn't hear what they were saying or what their reason for being in any area was. The carnival walk through the corn field was like 2-3 buildings far apart, and in the rest of the locations, most were empty. Hardly anyone jumped out, followed, scared anyone, so you just walk past everything and everyone, pretty boring. 2 years ago it was great, now it's boring. Get a lot more actors, if you can. Otherwise, it's just a boring walk through props. Your parking was insane at the new location. You had to park on the side of the road and cross busy traffic to get to the entrance. Not worth the time unless you do skip the line, so you can get through the boredom quickly and get out. Try to get some interactive animatronics if you can't get actors.

The parking is an absolute joke. For a family of (4) we paid almost $200. We waited in traffic for over an hour to even get in. Their system is awful and if they can't accommodate the amount of tickets being sold with the parking and getting everyone in as quick as possible, then maybe they should sale less tickets. What is the point of scheduling a time slot if you aren't even able to make the time frame. The parking staff has no idea how to direct traffic and it's a nightmare. Of course there are no refunds and you can't reschedule. Go somewhere else. Don't waste your time or your money. It's pretty sad when we debated on losing out on the $200 because the parking situation was THAT TERRIBLE.

I don't know where to begin. I'm disgusted, 5 people for general admission was $172. To be able to skip the line it would of been an additional $20 per person. General admission lines were running about 10-15 minutes to get in. There were 4 houses included for the price. They had 1 or 2 games that could be played for an additional fee. Food, was outrageous!!! A 20oz bottle of soda was $5. They didn't have a large selection of vendors. One stand had cotton candy, nachos, Carmel apples, diy snow cones. That cost was $5 per item. Another stand had funnel cakes we got 4 funnel cakes for $45. The last stand had curly fries, sausage links, hot dogs. It was $14 for curly fries with chili and cheese. The sausage links were good but the fries were horrible. No one had to go containers. Now the houses weren't scary at all. The actors were talking to us. Some of the decorations were really nice in one of the houses. I spent over $250 for absolutely nothing. I would of got more of freight watching CNN than going here. There was 1 stand with limited merchandise. The Potter potty's we're nasty. Last I recalled we were going through a pandemic you think the bathrooms would be clean. Parking I was angry. They shut down vip parking. You park in a dusty field. My shoes, cuff to my pants, and car look like I was working on a farm all night. Basically this venue is not for teens and adults. Children 11 and under yes. They had metal detectors also. You have to put your hands over your head etc etc. The only nice thing was one actor walking around in full costume. There was only one.
