Tips for Visiting & Planning
- Check dates & hours: Many haunts and festivals run on select nights or weekends only; verify before you go.
- Buy early: Popular haunted houses and illuminated pumpkin trails sell out fast-reserve online.
- Dress for fall: Bring layers and closed-toe shoes; fields and trails can be muddy or chilly after dark.
- Beat the crowds: Try weekday evenings or arrive early on weekends; plan nearby stops together.
- Mind age guidance: Some attractions are intense; look for family-friendly hours or “lights-on” options.
- Parking & payments: Some venues charge for parking or add card surcharges-carry a little cash.
