Fear Forest
Guests take a hay wagon ride from the parking area to experience three outdoor attractions: Fear Forest, Fear Crops, and Fear Factory. The main attraction features a four-tenths of a mile wooded walking trail filled with live scare actors, animatronics, and unsettling soundscapes. Visitors can also warm up around a bonfire, purchase food concessions, and enjoy music from an on-site DJ.
