Haunted houses in Phoenix: Fear Farm, The 13th Floor and a Halloween party bus

A haunt night with Scottsdale Sprinters starts with the haunt’s own season, the night the group’s tickets are for and a rider count. VIP groups lead with the Ultra Luxury Party Sprinter; friends’ and birthday crews ride a Limo Party Sprinter or the party bus; teens and families take the Executive Sprinter or the Mini Bus, alcohol-free. This guide uses only published facts, from Fear Farm and The 13th Floor, and turns the night into a written pickup, drop-off and ride home.

What are the big haunted houses in Phoenix for Halloween 2026?

The two big ones are Fear Farm Haunted Fairgrounds in Tempe, open select nights from September 19 to November 14, 2026, and The 13th Floor Haunted House on Bell Road in north Phoenix, open select nights from September 19 to November 1; neither is open every night, so check the haunt’s calendar before you pick a date. Fear Farm is a haunted fairground: several haunted attractions, a maze, a zombie shooting gallery and carnival rides on one ground, at 1475 N McClintock Dr in Tempe. The 13th Floor is an indoor haunted house with three attractions and a few short extras, at 2710 W Bell Rd, Suite 1180, in Phoenix. Both seasons opened on September 19. The 13th Floor closes on November 1, the day after Halloween; Fear Farm runs two weeks longer, to November 14. Tickets, times and the open nights are each haunt’s own, sold on their sites, so this guide prints none of them: buy the tickets first, then book the ride for that night.

Where do you park and get dropped off at Fear Farm and The 13th Floor?

Fear Farm asks every guest to use its new address, 1475 N McClintock Dr, Tempe, AZ 85257, because rideshare and map apps may still find the old site by name; The 13th Floor says free street parking is available around the haunted house on Bell Road; a chauffeured group is dropped where each haunt’s staff direct, and the vehicle waits for the ride home. Fear Farm’s own site is plain about the address: search the street address, not the business name, or the app may send you to the wrong place. That is the first thing we confirm for a Fear Farm night, and the address the booking carries as the drop-off. At The 13th Floor, parking is on the street around the building. The haunt asks drivers not to park in front of no-parking signs, gates or driveways, to keep valuables out of sight, and it takes no responsibility for parked cars; any off-property lot is not affiliated with it. There is partial indoor waiting, and on crowded nights the line runs past the covered area. With a chauffeur, the parking question goes away: the group steps out where the staff direct, walks in together, and walks back out to a vehicle that has been waiting nearby. Nobody circles the block, and nobody drives home after the scares.

What is at Fear Farm in 2026?

Fear Farm’s 2026 attractions are Jason Universe: Survive the Night, Beyond the Veil, Mr. Tasty’s Funhouse, Sirens Wake, the Field of Fear Maze, Deadshot Alley, a zombie shooting range, and Phobia: Sensory Overload, with carnival ride passes on top; it is open rain or shine. The haunt calls itself a haunted fairground, and the night is a walk from one attraction to the next. Fear Farm says the total time varies with how many attractions you visit and how busy the night is, so a group that wants all of them should plan a long evening and book the vehicle to match. Groups stay together. Fear Farm sends parties that bought their tickets together through in groups of 10, and says larger pre-purchased groups can usually be kept together if they ask at check-in. Buy the whole group’s tickets in one order, and the ride and the haunt both see one party.

What is at The 13th Floor Phoenix in 2026?

The 13th Floor’s 2026 attractions are Dead City Uprising, House of Flesh and Reaping Grounds, with the Zombie Splat Gellyball Experience, Mini Escape Games and a Respawn Pass for a second run through; guests sign a waiver online before they go. It is an indoor haunt on Bell Road in north Phoenix. The haunt’s hours vary by date, and its calendar shows each night’s times, so the pickup is set from the ticket time, with dinner before it if the group wants one. For a group, the haunt says group pricing may be available for larger parties, and to contact it directly. Settle the tickets with the haunt, then send us the night and the time.

Are the Phoenix haunted houses OK for kids and teenagers?

Both haunts say the event may be too intense for children 12 and under; The 13th Floor sets no minimum age but suggests guests 12 and older, and Fear Farm advises parental discretion. For a teen group, our house rule applies: If even one passenger is under 21, the trip is alcohol-free for the whole group, adults included. Teenagers are a big part of the Halloween crowd, and a ride keeps a group of them together from the pickup to the door and home again. Put a parent’s or guardian’s cell number on the reservation, so the chauffeur has one point of contact for the night. Both haunts run their own bars for guests 21 and over, with IDs checked on site: Fear Farm has two, The 13th Floor has the Tombstone Tiki. Those are the haunt’s, not ours. We sell no alcohol, and no package on this page carries a drink service.

What can you bring to a haunted house: bags, costumes and masks?

Costumes are welcome at both haunts, but full-face masks and props are not, and The 13th Floor also bans full-face makeup that hides who you are; Fear Farm permits small bags, and The 13th Floor allows only small bags and clutches up to 4.5 by 6.5 inches, and says larger bags should be left in your vehicle. That last rule is where a chauffeured night helps: the bags, jackets and the change of shoes stay in the vehicle, which waits nearby with the chauffeur, instead of in a parked car on a side street. Dress for the walk and the line. Fear Farm is open rain or shine, and at The 13th Floor the covered waiting area does not hold the whole line on a busy night.

What does a haunted house night cost with a chauffeur?

A haunt night is billed by the hour at each vehicle’s published rate, from pickup to drop-off, with its minimum hours: the Ultra Luxury Party Sprinter is $250/hr and seats 15, a Limo Party Sprinter (12-13 Pax) is $175/hr, the Executive Black Sprinter is $145/hr; haunt tickets are not included, and prices are before tax. Split across the group, the hourly rate becomes a per-person figure. 15 riders in the Ultra Luxury Party Sprinter for 5 hours is about $83 each before tax. 28 riders sharing the Party Bus (28 Pax) for 5 hours at $250/hr is about $45 each. That is arithmetic on the published rates, not a flat Halloween fare. The hours run from the pickup at your door to the drop-off at home, and the vehicle waits at the haunt in between, so the night is one booking, not two rides. The ready-made packages on this page are priced the same way, with the extras they carry, and show the total before anyone books. Not in the fare: the haunt tickets, fast passes and ride passes, and anything bought inside.

Which vehicle fits a Halloween haunt group?

VIP groups lead with the Ultra Luxury Party Sprinter, our pick for a haunt night, then the Maybach Jet Sprinter, the Maybach Shuttle Sprinter and the Suburban; friends and birthday crews ride a Limo Party Sprinter or the 28-seat party bus; teens and families take the Executive Black Sprinter, the white Executive Sprinter or the Mini Bus (24 Pax). The table uses current published names, seated capacities, hourly rates and minimums, in three groups. VIP: the Maybach Jet Sprinter, the Ultra Luxury Party Sprinter, the Maybach Shuttle Sprinter and the Luxury SUV (Suburban). Friends and birthday crews: the Limo Party Sprinter (12-13 Pax), the Limo Party Sprinter (16 Pax) and the Party Bus (28 Pax). Teens and families: the Executive Black Sprinter, the Executive White Sprinter and the Mini Bus (24 Pax). A VIP party larger than the Ultra Luxury Party Sprinter rides in two vehicles, one booking each for the same night and times: the Ultra Luxury Party Sprinter with the Maybach Jet Sprinter seats 24, and with the Luxury SUV (Suburban) it seats 21. Count heads from the ticket order. Fear Farm moves bought-together parties through in groups of 10, so a crew of 13 or 16 is two haunt groups but one vehicle, and one pickup.

When should you go, and is Halloween night busy?

Halloween 2026, October 31, falls on a Saturday, so the weekend before it and Halloween night itself are the nights to book first; both haunts open select nights only, The 13th Floor closes on November 1, and Fear Farm runs to November 14 for a quieter night after Halloween. The haunts publish their open nights and each night’s times on their ticket calendars, and weekends in October are what everyone wants. A group with a flexible date gets the best choice of vehicles on a weeknight or in the first days of November at Fear Farm. Book the tickets for a timed entry if the haunt offers one, then set the pickup so the group arrives with time to spare for the line.

How far ahead should a Halloween ride be booked?

Buy the haunt tickets first, then book the ride: availability varies by night and vehicle, so no fixed lead time applies, and the October weekends and Halloween night go first; send the date, the rider count, the pickup address and the haunt, and the reservations team confirms what is open. The first request needs the night, the home, hotel or school pickup, a likely passenger count, the haunt, and the ticket time. A group does not need every name to begin. It does need to say which group is riding: VIP guests, a friends’ or birthday crew, or teens with a guardian’s number. During the final 48 hours, confirm addresses, phone numbers and the ticket time. Reach the reservations team at (623) 986-6339 or reservations@scottsdalesprinters.com. A ride booking never includes a haunt ticket.
