Six Flags St Louis Fright Fest: 2025 In-Depth Guide

Ready to face the dark? Fright Fest at Six Flags St. Louis returns for another season of chills and thrills, transforming the park into a spine-tingling realm where monsters prowl and shrieks echo through the Ozark foothills. From haunted attractions to coasters that plunge into darkness, this after-dark celebration is the ultimate Halloween event in Missouri for thrill-seekers and fearless families.

Terror Takes the Stage – Where Nightmares Unfold

Classic coasters turn creepy and every shadow hides a scare in this park-wide transformation after sunset.

Fright Fest haunts Six Flags St. Louis, located at 4900 Six Flags Road in Eureka, just 30 minutes west of downtown St. Louis. By day, the park dazzles with classic fun, but by night, midways morph into sinister scare zones. Select rides run with the lights off, amplifying every drop, twist, and inversion after sunset.

Calendar of Chills – When to Go

Thirteen nights of fright await—mark your weekends for a scream-worthy fall lineup through November 2.

Mark your calendar: Fright Fest presented by SNICKERS runs Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, from September 13 to November 2, 2025. The event typically operates in the evenings—gates creak open at 6:00pm and the real frights begin at dusk, with closing hours varying by night. Be sure to check specific park hours closer to your visit for any last-minute changes.

Who Will Love It (And Who Might Hide Behind You)

From little pumpkins to grown-up thrill-seekers, this fest balances kid-friendly days with intense night terrors.

This event is ideal for teens, adults, and brave tweens seeking an adrenaline rush. There’s also Kids Boo Fest during the day, offering scare-free fun for littler goblins with activities like pumpkin painting and a trick-or-treat trail. After 7:00pm, the park turns up the scare factor, and for safety and experience, guests over 12 are not permitted to wear costumes. Parental guidance is strongly advised for younger guests.
