Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Arrive at least 30 minutes before your timed ticket, especially on busy weekend nights, to account for potential lines and parking.
- Consider purchasing VIP tickets on high-demand nights to bypass long queues and guarantee entry at your selected time.
- Dress in warm layers and wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes suitable for walking on uneven terrain in the forest.
- Check the event's social media or website by 4 PM on the day of your visit for any weather-related cancellations.
- If attending with younger children (under 15), ensure an adult accompanies them due to the intense nature of the attractions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What time are you open?
Ticket booths open by 6 PM, attractions begin at 7 PM. The parking lot does not allow new customers after 10 PM. For combination tickets purchased after 9 PM, attend the Haunted Hayride first, then the walking trail.
What does Timed Ticketing mean?
Timed ticketing designates arrival slots to reduce congestion and wait times. General Admission tickets specify arrival times, not necessarily entry times. Arrive 15 minutes prior to your ticketed time, or 30 minutes on high-demand nights. VIP tickets guarantee entry at specified times and skip lines.
How can I avoid waiting in long lines?
For shorter lines and fewer crowds, attend earlier in October or on Sunday nights when only The Hallow Trail is operational. VIP passes also allow you to skip the lines.
Is this event suitable for children?
The event is not designed for very young children or those easily upset by the dark. Children under 6 should not ride the Hayride, and it's not recommended for those under 9. The Hallow Trail is not recommended for anyone under 12. All children under 15 must be accompanied by an adult.
What should I wear?
Wear warm clothing and comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes. Flip-flops and high heels are not safe for navigating the farm and forest trails.
