Scarywood Tickets: 2025 In-Depth Guide for Haunted Nights

Tucked inside Silverwood Theme Park in Athol, Idaho—just 30 minutes north of Coeur d’Alene—Scarywood commandeers the park’s midways, theaters, and forests to craft immersive realms of horror. Expect fog-choked paths, sinister soundscapes, and iconic rides like Timber Terror and Tremors racing through pitch-black airtime. As seen on the Travel Channel’s “Halloween’s Scariest Thrills,” Scarywood’s dedication to atmosphere is as intense as its scares.

Who Should Enter… If You Dare

Not for the faint of heart—this haunt is 13+ only, and strictly no costumes.

Scarywood is ideal for guests aged 13 and up due to its intensity and imagery. The event is not recommended for children under 12. Costumes and masks are strictly prohibited for guests; only scare actors will be in disguise. Once admitted, there is no re-entry to the park.
