Fright Fest at The Great Escape in Queensbury is a unique Halloween experience held on select days from September 30 - October 29, 2024.
Spend the day at the park as normal, enjoying the food, rides, and other attractions, but watch your back when it turns to night. After the sun sets, the monsters are released, and the park becomes haunted by creepy ghouls and other creatures.
Experience scare zones, where ghouls spend their time looking for their next victim to haunt. Step into any of the four haunted houses or go about your night riding rollercoasters as usual. Be careful, however, because you might get sat next to a creature on one of the rides.
In addition, the monsters come together at various points throughout the park to perform horror-themed pop-up shows. Experience this theme park in ways you haven't before with Great Escape's Fright Fest.
