Niles Scream Park
Niles Scream Park is a fright attraction covering roughly 44 acres in Niles Charter Township with multiple haunted experiences. The main haunted house features over 100 different routes through themed rooms including a basement and attic, while outdoor attractions include the Field of Screams maze, Wicked Woods forest area, escape rooms opening in 2025, and the Hooded experience where adults 18 and over are blindfolded for an intense encounter.
The park opened in 1996 and has become an established seasonal tradition in the region. The original haunted house has frightened visitors for more than two decades, while new attractions like Field of Screams, Wicked Woods, and the Hooded experience were gradually added to expand the park's offerings and keep the experience fresh each year.
The park is a gathering place where the local community actively participates through volunteers from over 70 local groups including scouts, churches, and school organizations. This grassroots involvement gives the experience special meaning, as visiting supports the neighborhood groups and youth organizations working there throughout the season.
The park is located at 855 Mayflower Road east of U.S. 31 Exit 5 and offers free parking with metal detector security screening at the entrance. Visitors should arrive early since attractions open when dark and the park typically closes between 10 and 11 p.m., though some attractions may stay open longer if crowds remain.
The park is a nonprofit operation that has donated over 2.8 million dollars to local charities and college scholarships for students at nearby high schools since opening in 1996. This community support mission means every visitor contributes directly to funding local programs and student scholarships.
