Long Island Haunted Houses
Bayville Scream Park
This is one of the biggest, best, most elaborate, and scariest Long Island haunted houses. Be ready to be scared. There is no minimum age, but Bayville Scream Park does not recommend its nightly haunted houses for kids under 10. There is a reason this place has been featured on tons of TV shows and ‘best of’ lists. It is not just a haunted house. It is a haunted house theme park!
