When asked the question, how was your Indy Scream Park experience?, this is how a couple of Brebeuf students responded:

Mackenzie Winters ‘26 said, “Indy Scream Park was pretty scary because of the jumpscares during the attractions and it was really loud because of the screams.”

Claudia Keller ‘25 said, “Indy Scream Park was fun and the food was good. The workers were also really good at their jobs as well which made the experience better.”

When we went, our experience was very similar to both of these points of view. We went to Indy Scream Park with our friends at around 8 p.m.. 

Upon our arrival, we were greeted by a woman dressed in a full costume and scary makeup. She went on to taunt us as we showed her our tickets to enter the park. The woman’s costume definitely set the bar for how the rest of the night was going to go.

We went through all 6 attractions throughout the night. They are all dark which allowed for an even scarier environment that kept us on our toes. We both agree that The Lockdown was our favorite attraction of the night by far. 

After we went through the 6 attractions we had built up an appetite. The food at the Monster Midway was more on the expensive side, however, it was definitely convenient to have closeby after a long day of scares. 

We definitely recommend going to Indy Scream Park to anyone who loves a good jump scare and a lot of laughs!
