For the past 5 years, Fright for Future has been a creative way to educate young people and the wider community about the “true terrors” in San Diego… the scary issues that impact people, planet, and animals, and how our actions can make an impact! This maze is in partnership with several local organizations including SanDiego350, the event’s fiscal sponsor.

There are 20 haunted attractions within the maze that are both scary and educational – check them out to see some examples of the issues and information that this exhibit shares.

Options for educators:

1. Bring your students through the maze during the school day (Oct 12-16 & Oct 19-23 from 9am – 2pm) at 37ECB (3720 El Cajon Blvd, San Diego, CA 92105). Reach out to frightforfuturehaunt@gmail.com to coordinate!

OR

2. Share with your students to attend on the weekend of Oct 16-18 & Oct 23-25 for free as an extra credit opportunity.


2025 Fright for Future Testimonial from a middle school science teacher:

“I was glad I brought my 50 middle school students to this event. Fright for the Future turned out to be exactly the kind of experience I’d hoped for. From the moment we arrived, my students were fully engaged. The experience was incredibly educational, and what struck me most was how deeply it resonated with my students. They walked away with a real, tangible understanding of the impact human actions have on animals and the world around us. My students continue to discuss what they experienced, and I can already see it shaping how they think about their role in protecting our planet. I couldn’t recommend this experience more highly for any educator looking to make the topic of human impact come alive for their students.”
