Niles Scream Park

The place everyone's been screaming about

The Niles Scream Park is not just scary, it is considered by many to be one of the top haunted attractions in the country! Certainly one of the largest, the Niles Scream Park offers 44 acres of blood-curdling fear! Unlike other haunted houses, Niles rebuilds all six major attractions each year to provide you with completely new and unique shows. The professionally designed sets and ingenious scare-tactics led The Niles Scream Park to be recognized by Haunted Attraction Magazine as one of the “Top 31 Must-See Haunted Attractions” nationwide for the last several years! This is no mere roadside attraction! Come visit one of the country's premier haunted houses!

We put the CARE in SCARE

While you're trembling, you'll be helping a good cause. In 2018, the Park donated more than $132,000.00 to local charities! The Niles Scream Park is a non-profit community project that uses approximately 150 to 200 volunteers per night to staff its various attractions. These volunteers represent over 65 Michiana area community and school organizations such as Boy Scout groups, church youth groups and booster groups for colleges and high schools. Since 1996, more than $1,900,000.00 have been donated to local and national non-profit organizations, as well as the Niles Scream Park funded college scholarships for students at Niles, Cassopolis, Brandywine, Dowagiac and Edwardsburg High Schools!! What a tribute to our volunteers!

Niles, Michigan (October 7, 2019) – The Board of Directors for the Niles Scream Park is pleased to announce that they welcomed interior visitor number 2,100,000 on Sunday, October 6, 2019. The lucky individual is Megan Darr of Granger, Indiana. As a result of her good fortune, she received a special “ghost pack” of goodies from the Niles Scream Park.

Megan was accompanied by her friend Jared Hancock of Mishawaka, Indiana. Darr is a junior at Purdue University, but that didn’t stop her from making this her fourth visit to the Niles Scream Park. She comes year after year because she loves Halloween and getting scared. This year she had to drag her friend Jared, a Clay Fire Fighter recruit, with her although he is the one that suggested coming to the Scream Park.
