Hey, Grand Rapids thrill-seekers!
It’s spooky season and you know what that means! A car wash isn’t just a car wash in October, especially as the sun goes down.
Drive up to one of these haunted car washes at the appointed hour and you never know who – or – what might be lurking behind the soap suds curtain covering your windshield.
If you’re looking for a fright-filled Halloween activity, haunted car washes are a unique twist on the haunted house.
You’ll find them at car wash stations across Greater Grand Rapids – and even into Holland at the end of the month.

Who Can Go to the Haunted Car Wash?
Considering a unique date night or an outing with older kids?
Grand Rapids’ haunted car washes might just be the ticket.
Want to bring younger kids? There is no age limit at these haunted car washes. But do consider: every kid is different and you know your child best.
If you’re unsure about how they’ll handle the spookiness, give the var wash a call and ask questions.
Or, visit during daylight for a milder experience. The same spooky visuals are set up, but no one is jumping out at you.

Haunted Car Wash Video
It can be hard to decide if a haunted car wash will be too scary for you or your friends and family. Take a look at this guy’s video – he filmed his experience at the Tunnel of Terror at a Tommy’s Car Wash in Florida.
From the looks of it, it’s not too scary.
