The Haunted Forest ®

The Haunted Forest® is a one-of-a-kind Halloween themed outdoor event.

Visitors walk through a forest, with eerie fog, strange sights, multiple life size scenes, and scare actors accompanied by the spine-chilling screams from the Haunted House. The event also consists of a main festival site with a big screen featuring films to draw the horror from the tips of visitors' toes out through the little hairs behind their necks.

The festival features a bar and picnic area, accompanied by a vendor and food village with tastes for every palate. For the young ones, there is a Trick & Treat in the forest that takes place before the forest walk.

For an added fee, visitors can also tour a Haunted House at the event, play games, experience the Fun Fair, and visit the Hansel & Gretel House. There are costume prizes up for grabs for the Most Horrific Family and the Freakiest Couple.
