Best Haunted Houses in Denver 2026 — 10 Haunts

3400 E 52nd Ave, Denver. Sept 11–Nov 14. From $19.99. Denver's flagship haunt and one of the nation's best — three attractions in 2026 (Legend of the 13th Floor, Twilight of the Damned, The Blood Shed), plus an expanded midway with escape games, axe throwing, and themed VIP cabanas. New this year: a Trick 'r Treat augmented-reality experience. Longest season in the metro.

Westminster. Sept 11–Nov 7. Colorado's oldest haunted house, still one of its meanest — plus escape rooms, a monster museum, and a coffin simulator for the truly committed. New for 2026: Frightmare Town and a 1950s trailer-park scene. Old-school intensity, zero irony.

Anderson Farms, 6728 County Rd 3-1/4, Erie. Select nights Sept 25–Oct 31. From $43 (Fri/Sat $50). A mile of twisted cornfield ending at Raven's Gulch, a full haunted ghost town with its own published mythology — and every ticket also covers Anderson Farms' fall festival and 25-acre corn maze. Closes Halloween night; the Saturday shows sell out.

Thornton. Season nights through Oct 31; open Halloween. A 40-acre haunted cornfield backing the infamous Riverdale Road — the best outdoor haunt for going with a group. Part cornfield, part nightmare, entirely worth the drive north. Check their schedule for season nights before you go.

Henderson. Two haunts, one trip — the classic two-for-one scare night northeast of downtown. Genuinely intense walkthroughs aimed at teens and adults, not a family stroll. Confirm dates and tickets at cityofthedeadhaunt.com before you go.

Downtown Denver. Sept 26–Nov 1, weekends (plus Mon Oct 12). Park admission ~$57.99 online; indoor haunted houses cost extra via Haunt Pass (~$40). The only pick that works for mixed groups: Booville trick-or-treating and rides by day, scare zones and roaming creatures after 6 PM. Best for families who want flexibility.

Hudson Gardens, Littleton. Sept 18–Nov 1. From $19.99 (dynamic). Not a scare — thousands of hand-carved pumpkins in glowing large-scale displays, a synchronized pumpkin light show every half hour, and the new Enchanted Hollow trail. The south metro's signature glow event; perfect for the haunt-averse.

Littleton. Seasonal dates — check site. A long-running, theatrical indoor walk-through in downtown Littleton that's friendlier for families and teens: more story than gore, all heart. A good first haunt if the big scream parks feel like too much.

Cheesman Park, Denver. Ongoing, 90-minute walking tour. The park was built on Denver's first cemetery, and this after-dark walk leans all the way into it — history with genuine chills, no fog machines required. Pair it with dinner on Colfax for a full eerie evening.

20861 Co Rd 33, La Salle. Opens Sept 19. Beyond the pumpkin patch and famous pumpkin house: ticketed haunted attractions on the farm, plus a pumpkin cannon and go-kart track for the daylight hours. Make it a full fall day — frights after dark, farm fun before.
