Tips & Advice
- Arrive early, as gates open at 6 PM and the ticket booth closes at 9 PM (10 PM on Saturdays). Head directly to the ticket booth and then the hayride line to ensure you experience all attractions.
- Consider purchasing a VIP FrightPass to bypass the regular lines and save time, especially on busy nights when wait times can extend up to 4 hours.
- Dress appropriately for a working farm environment; comfortable, closed-toe shoes like boots or old sneakers are recommended due to potential mud, water, and uneven terrain.
- While generally open rain or shine, check Frightland's website or social media by 4 PM on the day of your visit for any weather-related closure updates.
- Leave large bags, backpacks, and purses in your car, as only small, clear bags for medical needs are permitted and subject to security inspection.
