Think you’re brave enough for Oaks Park After Dark? ScareGrounds PDX is Oregon's largest Halloween event! Brave your way through scream-worthy haunted houses, scare zones, and spine-tingling side attractions, conjured up by the region's terror experts. This year's event is even more immersive with scare actors and frightening features all along the midway.
Once you escape the monsters, the real thrill begins with rides, mini golf, roller skating, and more!
Haunt Admission: From $23
Rides sold separately; rides only operate on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays in October.
Visiting during ScareGrounds is only recommended for those 13 and older.

Rock your flannels, JNCO jeans, windbreakers—or even your full disco sparkle. Whether you’re serving Saturday Night Fever or Saved by the Bell, you’ll fit right in as we rewind to the days before TikTok trends!
