The Witch's Haunted Barn & Pumpkin Patch

Visitors encounter a whimsical haunted barn filled with playful frights such as a coffin fitting room, creepy dolls, a graveyard, and a witches' coven, with candy waiting for children at the exit. Around the grounds, guests can see horses, donkeys, goats, and chickens, or wander the labyrinth, pond walk, and pasture trails. Scaredy-cat exits are placed throughout the barn for anyone wanting an early way out.
