Six Flags Over Texas Corporation
It’s no exaggeration: Dallas–Fort Worth boasts one of the most intense, top-rated haunted house landscapes in the entire country. We’re talking sprawling 50-acre horror parks, multi-story industrial meatpacking plants with real machinery, and fully air-conditioned theatrical spectacles that rival film sets.
If you're a Southlake local ready to test your nerve this season, here is your definitive 2026 guide to eight scay attractions in the region—featuring exact ticket prices, parking details, and age recommendations.
