SCARY

Schuster's Haunted Forest

Guests take a wagon ride into deep woods before navigating a dimly lit walking trail filled with spooks, hillsides, and ravines. Back at the farm, visitors can gather around bonfires to roast s'mores, listen to live music, and purchase fall treats like apple cider donuts and pumpkin cake. Craft beer, wine, and spiked hot drinks are also available at the barn.
