A Scream Scene ticket is valid for one admission on any open night, and the event calendar now lists two dates left: Nov. 6 and 7. Both open at 7 p.m. at Skokie Water Playground; no closing time is published.
The general description isn’t a scene list
The operator’s broad description mentions chainsaw characters and a clown maze, but does not confirm either for the 2026 edition. Treat those as background about Scream Scene, not a promise about what visitors will encounter this year.

Two ticket-page specials fall outside the calendar
The ticket page lists a $3 lights-on night for Oct. 26 and a $14 glow-stick night for Nov. 2. Neither date appears on the event calendar. As of Nov. 2, Oct. 26 has passed, and the calendar does not list an opening for Nov. 2; confirm with the operator before relying on either special.

Parental discretion advised
The operator does not recommend Scream Scene for children under 10. This is guidance, not a stated age-based admission cutoff.
