The new immersive haunted hayride takes you to a haunted carnival. 👻

Staff Writer

Get ready for some real scares this fall. Saunders Farm's FrightFest is back from September 25 to October 31, and it looks scarier than ever.

This year the famous haunted hayride is brand new. Saunders Farm told Narcity, "it is a new theme, with new tech and it is more immersive than ever."

You'll also get to visit so many frightening areas where supernatural creatures lurk, like The Barn of Terror, Coven, Shambles, and cemetery.

But it doesn't stop there. Strolling the streets are fire dancers and monsters, and you can visit the Tipsy Tombstone Tavern or the Cider House for drinks and snacks.

To attend FrightFest, you must be vaccinated and will need to pre-purchase a ticket for a specific entry timeslot.
