Decades after it was abandoned in 1987, Fear Factory continues to hold the bar high for fun-filled Halloween experiences for all ages, group sizes, corporate events, families, and fans of all things frightening. With award winning makeup, highly detailed costumes, an immersive storyline, and epic customer service and safety goals, Fear Factory is one of the top Halloween attractions in the world. Consisting of 6 buildings, a tower soaring 6 stories high, and with two underground passages, (all of them haunted) it’is a massive haunted attraction experience in Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.A. With awards ranking them as #3 in the world (buzzfeed.com), top 10 in the US (USA Today & Travel Channel), and #1 in the USA by an applauded third party critic ScareFactor.com, Fear Factory is one of Utah's - and the world's - favorite Halloween entertainment attractions. The historic property has seen more than 11 documented historical deaths, has been featured in TV shows and movies, boasts over 100 nightly live actors, and is heavily awarded within the industry-often within the top 10 attractions in the world for Halloween fun and fright.

Fear Factory, an attraction so vast that a waiver is required to be signed prior to entry, opens shortly in spring and then again each fall as it lures guests inside to face their fears. What once was a bustling factory producing cement, Fear Factory now produces screams, laughter, fun, fright and more, where each building’s design elicits your darkest fears: will you survive and escape, or be consumed by the factory? Brought forth from an unknown realm of pure terror, energized by a series of murders in the basement amidst a freak lightning storm, Fear Factory’s 10 foot tall underground beating heart pumps fear energy throughout the many buildings, giving power to the monstrosities within. Utilizing humanity's greatest fears, Fear Factory lures in unsuspecting thrillseekers to face their deepest phobias with only one promise: conquer your fears, or be consumed by them. Luckily, the property’s ghoulish caretaker, Karl Mossman, will guide you along the way, preparing your mind, soul, and spirit for what lies within. Surely, you can trust him not to lead you into any danger… 

All customers, staff and property entrants must have a completed waiver, and agree to all binding expectations, when redeeming their ticket, prior to entrance. Individuals not in compliance with these expectations jeopardize not just their own eviction, but their entire group.

Fear Factory is housed in the old Portland Cement Works, a historic building constructed in the 1800s, prior to the standards of the Americans With Disabilities Act. Because of this not all areas are, or can be made, accessible to some individuals with mobility impairments without compromising the historic nature, structural features or structural integrity of the building. Fear Factory has, to the extent possible, created an alternative accessible route but, as stated, this route cannot safely include all areas of the attraction.

Fear Factory is as committed to accessibility as it is to the safety of its guests and so offers alternative equitable experiences to guests with mobility impairments where possible. These alternative experiences may not be available on all days or at all hours of operation. If the alternatives are not available a voucher will be offered. It is our commitment that, when taken as a whole, all our guests have a safe and equitable experience.

Fear Factory is a massive facility, boasting over 6 buildings and 2 underground passages. You can expect to be inside, walking through areas and interacting with monsters for at least 45 minutes. The average experience takes about 45 minutes to walk through the entire factory. Plan to wear good footwear, as there are several flights of stairs.

Depending on the night you attend, there may be a wait in line, so plan to dress accordingly. Good footwear is a must: sandals, heels or loose shoes are strongly discouraged, due to the many metal grate stairs, various ground surfaces and/or experiences you may encounter. Fear Factory is not responsible for any damaged personal items.
