The 2026 season runs select nights from September 18 to November 1, and the lineup adds a new haunt built around a doomed rock band, and the haywagons now have seating.

What to expect

A hayride through staged scenes, walk-through mazes, roaming performers in a Halloween town square, and s'mores stations. It is built to scare.
