The Haunted Trail of Balboa Park returns for 2025—with two haunts in one: the 3,500 square foot eXperiment Maze and the mile-long Haunted Trail winding through the twisted pines and gnarled oaks of historic Marston Point. Named in CNN’s Top 5 BEST Haunted Attractions in America, and one of the “Top 3 Halloween Destinations in the U.S.” by America Haunts. The nightmare begins inside the eXperiment Maze—a sensory trap of warped illusions, cult-favorite legends, and viral nightmares coming to life. Evade the stalking silence of Slenderman before descending into the obsessive chaos of “HELLno Kitty”, a deranged tribute to everyone’s favorite feline. Spin through the Vortex Tunnel and face-off against the most Terrifying clown and his pale side kick. Then slip into the Haunted Trail through a cursed portal with no choice but to run towards the terror. Feel your way through the fog drenched Graveyard, claw through Freddy’s School Bus, stumble into post-apocalyptic Nuke Town and try to outrun the “Sisters of the SAW” in their blood soaked cathedral. The mayhem doesn’t stop after the chainsaws! Visit DARK CARNIVAL, an all new scare zone with roaming monsters, games, photo ops, an expanded BOOtique Gift Shop, and bites from local food trucks. The Haunted Trail of Balboa Park, morphing annually, reinventing fear for 26 years. Please Note: Check out the 2025 Hours of Operation for the exact days and hours of operation.
