Halloween is Tomorrow!! Make sure to find a haunted house in your area to get in the Halloween spirit. Here’s just one of the many spook zones you’ll find in Michiana.
The Niles Scream Park
The Michiana area is not lacking on Haunted Houses, Haunted Hayrides and corn mazes. In fact, Niles Michigan has its own Niles Haunted House Scream Park. This park alone brings in over 100,000 dollars in revenue, almost all of which was donated to local charities and school events, such as to name a few the Niles Football Teams, the Niles High School Yearbook, the American Cancer Society, the local Girl Scout troops and St. Jude’s Research Hospital.
So besides being a great charity event for the community, what is all the fuss about with this Scream Park? To begin, this park is on 44 acres of land requiring 150 to 200 people a night to yell, scare you and guarantee you with a night of terror! In fact, this place is so popular that in October 2008, the Park celebrated with their One Millionth visitor.

Several Amusement Options
There are numerous attractions:
- The Haunted House: the biggest and scariest in the area
- Dark Terror-Tory Haunted Hayride: a one mile narrated ride
- Field of Screams with Maniac Maze
- Midway of the Macabre: enjoy various games and fun, including a paint ball shooting gallery
- Concessions
- Gore Store: with all your favorite Halloween fun stuff
- Psychic Readings: haven’t had enough fun and scariness, have your palm read
- And a few other fun events, including the Redneck Revenge and London Screams after Midnight.
The Haunted House has multiple routes and more than 100 possible paths. You would have to go through this house at least 7 times to catch everything. The displays and the routes are both changed every year for those returning visitors.
Age Appropriate
In one word, this place is scary. It is not appropriate for young children. The attraction is geared to scare high school and college age kids. The hayride and midway attractions are a little different, but still are not recommended for children under the age of 6. Obviously if your child is afraid of the dark, this is not the place to visit.
Special Packages
To keep the costs affordable, there are special packages, such as the Triple Dog Dare, where you can get a trip through the Haunted House, Redneck Revenge and London Screams (the other two main attractions). You can also individually purchase each of the attractions or tokens for the Midway attractions.
Find It Local!
The Scream Park is located just near Highway 31, just off Niles Buchanan Road on Mayflower road. Moreover, the website claims it is worth the drive from Kalamazoo or Indiana. If you do all the activities, you can be guaranteed a few hours of scares! Happy Haunting!
