As Halloween night approaches, Jessamine County families and thrill‑seekers have a new local haunt to explore. LEX News Weekend Anchor Kayleigh Randle and Photojournalist Will Casada visited Wicked World Scaregrounds to see what the spooky venue offers.
Event details
Wicked World Scaregrounds will be open Friday night and Saturday, October 31, from 8 p.m. until midnight. Attendees can purchase tickets in advance through the venue’s website or buy them at the gate on the night of the event.
What to expect
The attraction promises a series of heart‑racing, themed scare zones designed to give visitors a night of family‑friendly fright. Organizers say the experience is suitable for teens and adults, with some areas tailored for younger children who enjoy milder scares.
Local impact
Beyond the thrills, the event is expected to draw visitors from surrounding communities, providing a boost to local businesses such as restaurants and shops that stay open late for Halloween revelers. Community leaders have welcomed the addition of a seasonal attraction that adds to Jessamine County’s growing roster of family‑oriented events.
