Scary Acres

Scary Acres is a famous Omaha attraction known for their three popular terrifying scenarios. These include the haunted woods, the master’s castle, and the house on the hill. This is a great place for all of our thrill seekers. Scary acres not only has all of these attractions but they also have a great concession stand. Go to Scary Acres if you are in for a fright!
