Mission Viejo's Haunt Of Halloween Makes Annual Debut

MISSION VIEJO, CA — October is nearly among us, and you know what that means — a plethora of Halloween-inspired mazes sure to scare your pants off. Fortunately for Mission Viejo residents, there's no need to drive very far to get a thrilling experience. The Haunt of Halloween is coming to Mission Viejo, and thrill-seekers are encouraged to head over and join the fun.

The event runs throughout the Halloween season and tickets must be purchased in advance. There are five total attractions included with ticket purchases, including a "Face Your Fears" sensory attraction, a Halloween-themed photo opportunity, a reptile exhibit courtesy of Southern California Herpetology Association & Rescue, an up close horror pop-up and creepy shows on a half-hour basis.

Attendees can also visit George the Giant's Strange Museum of Oddities & Wonders for a look into the unsettling and macabre. The museum features haunted objects, two-headed animals, chupacabras and more.

For the younger thrill-seekers, Haunt of Halloween offers a not-so-scary maze on select days. The seasonal event takes place at Kaleidoscope, 27741 Crown Valley Pkwy. More information about tickets and times can be found on Haunt of Halloween's website.
