    Halloween event. Guests will feel the need to sleep with the lights on after experiencing this new generation of
    SCarowinds. Every corner is freshly cursed with horrifying haunted mazes, spine-tingling scare zones, and live
    entertainment.
    • Tricks and Treats Fall Fest (Saturdays and Sundays from September 17-October 30) is all-new this year and
    promises to be the area’s favorite Halloween event. Everyone in the family, from tots to tweens to adults, will
