WHAT is twin cities fear fest
Twin Cities Fear Fest is a new haunted attraction coming to Mall of America in Fall 2025. Guests will encounter detailed sets, dozens of live scare actors, and special effects that create an intense, atmospheric experience. This indoor event will turn the nation’s largest mall into a Halloween destination for thrill‑seekers across the Twin Cities. With multiple themed areas to explore, every corner will bring a new scare!
2025 ATTRACTIONS
The waters beyond the harbor hide a place whispered of by sailors and feared by all who’ve heard its name. Shrouded in endless fog, Deadwater Hollow drifts between realms, drawing in ships that vanish without a trace. Those who make it ashore find rotting docks, creaking hulls, and the remnants of crews long claimed by the tide. On nights when the moon hangs low and red, voices rise from the water, calling the living to join the ranks of the drowned.
Beneath the earth lies a sanctuary untouched by light, where time itself seems to wither. Ancient halls of stone echo with chants from unseen mouths, and the air is heavy with the scent of decay. Within its walls, guardians of bone and spirit keep watch over secrets never meant for mortal eyes. When darkness deepens and the veil between worlds thins, the sanctum opens—not to welcome, but to claim.
2025 ADD-ONS
