Tips & Advice

  • Dress in layers and wear old shoes or clothes, as the attractions are outdoors on a farm and can be muddy or dirty.
  • Arrive before the ticket booth closing times (10 PM Fri/Sat, 9 PM Sun) to guarantee entry, especially closer to Halloween when crowds are larger.
  • Check the Scare Farm Facebook page after 5 PM on event days for weather-related updates, as the event is weather-dependent.
  • Consider purchasing a VIP speed pass to skip the lines and maximize your time experiencing the scares.
  • Be prepared for strobe lights, fog machines, loud audio, tight spaces, and uneven surfaces; the actors may get very close but will not intentionally touch you.
