Six Flags Great America Fright Fest

Gurnee, IL

A long-running theme-park Halloween event in Gurnee mixing daytime family fun with after-dark mazes and scare zones.

By day the kids chase candy through Boo Fest, but when the sun drops the park turns. Five mazes and seven scare zones loose their monsters across the midways while the coasters scream overhead. Oktoberfest food and live shows fill the gaps between frights. The scares ramp steadily as the night deepens.
