The Scream Zone opened September 30 and will only last until, you guessed it, Halloween itself on the 31st.

 

With a reputation as the largest, and perhaps scariest, event located at the “Scaregrounds” in Del Mar, you probably do not want to miss.

 

Here are some things you can do…

 

If you dare.

 

 

 

Go on a Haunted Hayride past the haunted barn area

 

Take a “walk” through the House of Horror (not recommended for kids under 10)

 

Try not to get lost in The Chamber, a labyrinth of horror, suspense, and dead ends

 

Check out 1, 2 or all three with varying Ticket prices depending on how scared you want to be. Hours are 7 pm until midnight Fridays and Saturdays, and from 7 until 11 PM on other open nights (see schedule below):

 

Sept. 30 - Oct. 2
Oct. 6 - 9
Oct. 13 - 16
Oct. 20 - 31

 

The Scream Zone is located at the Del Mar Fair Grounds at 2260 Jimmy Durante Boulevard at the corner of Via de la Valle off the 5 freeway to the west. Call 858-755-1161, if you dare. Parking is free through the Solana Gate off Via de la Valle.

Angel Realty - the place has a great reputation.

And that spam (#3) is pretty scary. Hardly got the post up and there it was. I keep reporting but it hasn't disappeared.

Jeff, now that my office is in Del Mar, I better have a look.

I tried to count your keyword density on this one - but lost track... ;-)

Hi Jeff, nice localism on the Scream Zone, and perfect for the season. I would take my grandkids there but chicken me would wait outside.

Posted by Sandy Nichols Acevedo, Prudential Calif Ventura County Homes for Sale (951-290-8588) 7 months ago

Well Jeff, Del Mar knows how to spook the public...i can skip it and just look at the carved pumpkins but the different level of scariness is very ingenious!
