Tips & Advice
- Purchase tickets in advance, especially for weekend visits, as this is an annual hit and tickets can sell out.
- Consider purchasing the Combo Ticket for access to both the Haunted Hayride and the Haunted Barn to maximize your spooky experience.
- Dress in layers and wear comfortable shoes, as you'll be outdoors and potentially walking around the farm grounds.
- Check the weather forecast and call ahead if there's a chance of rain, as operations may be affected by severe weather.
- If you have younger children not ready for the scares, consider visiting during daytime hours for a less intense hayride experience without live actors.
