» Moving to Our New Venue
Q: Why aren't you at the water park anymore?
A: Our lease at the park ended and we had to find our own place to continue
bringing you The Scare Park each October.
Q: Where is the new venue for the Scare Park?
A: 1610 El Camino Real, Atascadero, Ca 93422 @ the all new Viking Event Center.
Q: Your lease ended? I thought that the owners of the waterpark were the ones
who were making The Scare Park.
A: Not true. From the first year of The Scare Park in 2009, the entire event
was built and created by the current event owner. It is true that the water
park owners and the Scare Park owner worked together on it's initial creation.
In 2010, the partnership ended and The Scare Park became separate of the park
owners. From then on the water park was strictly a venue for the event to be
held.
Q: What happened to the attractions that I've seen at the park the past several
years?
A: Our new venue has limited what attractions that we're able to bring to you
this year. However, we've spent quite a bit more time and effort on our sets
to bring you a better quality event. We may not have as many attractions as
in the past however we're spending more time on the attractions we have to
provide a more immersive experience than we've ever been able to provide before.

Q: May I exit the park, and then return later on the same day?
A: No. Upon exiting the park grounds through the main gate you
may not return later that night, so choose wisely!!
Q: Can I get a refund if I get too scared by the Scare Park?
A: Why would we give you your money back for doing our job?! There
are "Emergency Exits" throughout our haunted mazes. We won't
refund your money. This is a scary event. Be prepared to be scared.
Q: Can I get a refund if I am NOT scared by the Scare Park?
A: No. You paid for your admission ticket, we admitted you into
the park grounds, we did what you paid for. Something being scary is
an opinion and we do our best to provide a wide variety of themes and
scares with the hopes that something will get you. If anything, we
hope that our elaborately themed environments that are a departure
from your daily life will be enough to be entertaining and keep your
interest.
Q: What is a “Skeleton Key Pass – Single Admission” ticket?
A:
The Skeleton Key Passes are “front of line service” tickets.
If you purchase one, you may cut to the front of the line all night,
only on the night that the ticket was purchased and is only valid
for a single park admission.
Q: Why should I pay more money for a Skeleton Key Pass?
A: Unlike many haunted attractions around the nation that are typically
in a building, with one line, with one haunted attraction and as soon
as you exit that one attraction, its over. We are a haunted amusement
park. We have multiple attractions around the park resulting in many
lines to wait in. If you are one who dislikes waiting in long lines
we suggest that you purchase a Skeleton Key ticket and enjoy the park
without any lines. This includes the line to enter the park when we
open at 7pm.
Q: Do I actually get some sort of key with the Skeleton Key Pass ticket?
A: No. Its just the name that we came up with for the ticket.
Q: What is a season pass?
A: A season pass allows you to enjoy The Scare Park for all of
our nights of regular operation and return for all of the nights for
one discounted price.
Q: Can I use my season pass on a Special Event?
A: No. Special events are separate from the regular show schedule.
Please check our calendar to see which nights are regular show
nights and which are private/public special events.
Q: If I buy a season pass, can I give it to a friend/family member
to use?
A: No. When you buy a season pass you will be issued a souvenir
season pass plastic card with your photo, name and current year
printed on it. If the person in the photo and the person using
the card doesn't match, the season pass cannot be used.

about what their event is about.

» Rules of the Scare Park
Q: Can I dress up in a Halloween costume and come to the Scare Park?
I mean, it is a Halloween event after all.
A: NO. This event features actors in costume. To avoid confusion
we require that guests DO NOT arrive in costume. Besides, you're
paying admission for US to dress up and entertain YOU, not the other
way around. Additionally we request that you don’t wear any open toed shoes,
so please don’t wear sandals or any heels.
Q: After I go through the mazes do I have to leave the park grounds?
A: No. The Scare Park will be open from 7pm-10pm. However much
time you spend in the park is up to you. The park is "free roam".
You are welcome to go through the mazes and scare zones as many times
as you please during our hours of operation. So hang out, get scared
until you can’t take it anymore; enjoy all that we’re bringing
to you for this event!!
Q: May my child go to the Scare Park alone?
A: Children the age of 17 or younger MUST be accompanied by a responsible
adult (18 or older) or an adult guardian at ALL TIMES. The Scare Park
is not a babysitter, unattended small terrified crying children will
be placed in the cage with the walking undead and fed to them as their
dinner. Any groups of children trying to buy admission tickets without
an adult present will be REFUSED admission. As well as any groups of
children discovered in the park without an adult present will be escorted
out of the park and instructed to arrange for a ride home. DO NOT DROP
A VAN FULL OF TEENAGERS OFF AT THE FRONT GATE or BUY TICKETS FOR EVERYONE;
GET THEM INTO THE PARK AND LEAVE. THEIR ACTIONS AND BEHAVIORS ARE YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY AND YOU NEED TO BE THERE TO INSURE THAT THEY ARE BEHAVING
LIKE CIVILIZED HUMAN BEINGS.
Q: May I attend the Scare Park if I am intoxicated and this
is a stop of during our night of Halloween partying?
A: No. If you are intoxicated we will not permit you on the premises. If
you have been drinking alcohol and you come to our event that is
still considered public intoxication and you are breaking the law. We
have had a few difficult situations arise from intoxicated guests being
aggressive or violent so the answer is a very strict no. You
might end up being arrested.
Q: Can I yell obscenities, racial slurs, or
aggressive sexual comments at the actors or employees at the Scare
Park?
A: No. This is a very serious rule for you to break. If you break
it, you will be escorted out of the park. If you have a season pass it
will be revoked. Do not break this rule, we will not be nice to you about
it if you do, as far as we're concerned, you've given up any reason for
us to be nice to you if you are being disrespectful of us and our employees.
