Balboa Park Haunted Trail

Balboa Park
You might be familiar with Balboa Park, but you’ve never seen it like this! Balboa Park’s Haunted Trail is a mile long path through the park where horror icons like Freddy, Jason, The Ring Girl, and other characters await to spook you. You’ve got to be on your guard as you never know which direction the fright will come from! Not for children under 10 or the faint of heart. Over 3500 ft. of sheer terror!
The Harvest Motel Escape Room
Runs through Oct. 31
3rd Day Escape
7969 Engineer Road, Suite 215, San Diego, CA 92111
For a slightly less spine-chilling experience (but still scary), check out The Harvest Motel Halloween Themed Escape Room. Participants get split up between four rooms and must work together to unlock their respective rooms. Guests will have to use their wit, creativity, and bravery as well as provided clues and hints to solve puzzles and reunite with the rest of the team members.
Escape games are the latest when it comes to fun group activities; they’re even more fun with the Halloween theme. Give it a go!
