Frontier City is gearing up for its annual Fright Fest, starting this Saturday. The fall celebration brings a mix of family-friendly fun during the day and spooky thrills after sunset. Folks can enjoy the event on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays through October 31.
What to Expect
Daytime activities will include seasonal attractions perfect for families. Once the sun goes down, though, the park transforms into a fright-filled experience. Haunted houses will open their doors, and monsters will roam the park, giving guests a good scare.
Frontier City, located at 11501 N. I-35 Service Road, has long been a favorite spot for fall festivities in Central Oklahoma. Each year, the park goes all out to create a spooky atmosphere that draws in visitors from across the region.
New Chaperone Policy
One big change this year is a new chaperone policy. All guests under the age of 15 must now be accompanied by an adult who is 21 or older. This rule applies during Fright Fest hours and is aimed at ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
Park officials recommend planning ahead, especially for families with younger children. "We want everyone to have a great time, but safety is our top priority," a park representative said.
Tips for Visitors
If you're planning to attend, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Arrive early to enjoy the daytime attractions before the crowds pick up in the evening.
- Wear comfortable shoes, as you'll likely be walking a lot.
- Haunted houses and nighttime attractions may not be suitable for younger kids—use your best judgment.
- Keep an eye on the weather and dress accordingly since most activities are outdoors.
- Be aware of the new chaperone policy if you're bringing kids or teens under 15.
Tickets for Fright Fest can be purchased online or at the park entrance. Frontier City often offers season passes and discounts, so it’s worth checking their website for deals.
Why Folks Love Fright Fest
For many Oklahomans, Fright Fest has become a fall tradition. It's a chance to enjoy the crisp autumn air, indulge in seasonal treats, and get a good scare. The mix of family-friendly fun and spooky thrills makes it a hit with all ages.
"We come every year," said Sarah Johnson, a Yukon resident. "My kids love the daytime activities, and my husband and I stick around for the haunted houses after dark. It's the best of both worlds."
Whether you're looking for pumpkin-themed fun or a heart-pounding fright, Fright Fest at Frontier City has something for everyone. Just remember to bring a chaperone if you're under 15!
