A…read morefew things to note: 1.) this is more of a walk-through haunted house/maze type of thing than it is a haunted hayride, so be prepared to walk quite a bit. There are some scary things along the short hayride, but then you get off and do the walk through part. 2.) if you are sensitive to strobe lights there are MANY throughout the corn maze part. 3.) buy your tickets online in advance and save yourself from waiting in a the much longer line to purchase them there. It would be worth the wait, regardless, but if you have a fidgety kid purchasing online in advance will be a big help. 4.) bottom floor of the main barn consists of the concession stand, chairs and tables to sit and eat at and the restrooms. Top floor had pumpkins, Indian corn, cornstalks and a few vendors. Nice selection of pumpkins; we bought a 45 lb one! (P.S. they take cash and cards.)

Is that really how you want to run a business Very upsetting and disappointed on how the Haunted Woods is handling the closing of the hayride. My niece went with her friend and spent her own money to go on the hayride. There were no signs or notices that it was not running this year. After they paid they were told it's only the maze which they did not want to do. They asked for a refund immediately and was refused. This is poor business ethics and a terrible way to treat children. At the time there was no posts or sins that said no refunds either so it's very unethical. Will never go there and advise others to spend your hard earned money elsewhere too!

I am absolutely disappointed in this attraction. After spending the $18 per person to go through…read morethe poorly drawn up "maze", my group of friends and I went on the hayride. It was only about 5 minutes into the hayride that the tractor came to a sudden stop. The driver had explained that she was getting hay thrown at her. She rudely accused everyone on the hayride of "disrespecting her." Not only 2 minutes after that incident, another employee abruptly stopped the hayride once again. This time, the approach was more aggressive. This employee began to swear at the customers on the hayride. He called us "assholes." Mind you, there are children on this ride. When I didn't think it could get worse, it did. After the hayride was over, the employee approached my husband and falsely accused him of throwing the hay. I was in total shock that they would wrongly point the finger at a 25 year old man. After that, I marched right up to the front counter and demanded my money back. As a matter a fact, everyone on the hayride got their money back. I will NOT be going back to this attraction. Nor will i suggest a friend to go here.

I tried going down without the light but I've fallen down the stairs a few years and and broke my ankle as a result so I wasn't about to do it again. I turned the flash on my camera and shined it downwards so I could see the stairs and 3 guys at the bottom working the event yelled at me all simultaneousl, "turn the light off!! Common turn it off you can't do that!! I said back, okay okay I'm sorry I can't see I don't want to fall. they said some snide comments to me about it and I turned it off. theyd rather their guests fall i Guess in a not so safe setting? A member from our group was like no it's okay if you fall well just sue. and the guys working said event go " well we'll sue you for blinding us directly in the eyes with a flashlight" to which I responded "I never shined light in your eyes! I shined it on the stairs so I don't fall and break my ankle again." To which they said, "I know you didn't but I'm just saying that has happened." I said "yeah okay then", finally at the bottom of the stairs. He then ends saying to me "yeah ok Karen." after getting through it, we left. Clearly they don't care about safety or visibility of the guests and we were extremely disappointed. Clearly we were not the only guests that needed a flashlight to get down these stairs based on how they reacted; didn't even give me a chance to turn it off without 4 of them bombarding me about it. I won't be back.

With regards to bedtime, I decided to get there right as they opened at 7pm. My son was extremely excited to go in a real real haunted house, as in the past he's only done more kid-friendly ones. Neither of us were disappointed! Both of us are kind of "laughers," rather than "screamers," but I found that I was creeped out or startled to the point of jumping several times! We went through the saloon first. I was pleased with how long it was, and also glad that I got there early, so we weren't stuck with a huge group of people, as often happens at haunted houses, I've found. Now, I'm more of the type of person who appreciates really "creepy" scenes, rather than those that are loaded with a huge amount of blood and guts. So for me, this was great! I loved walking through various rooms in the saloon, and taking in the decor. Don't get me wrong, there were plenty of actors to jump out and scare you, along with features like puffs of air in your face as you walked by certain areas, which I thought was fun. There was also a cool animatronic feature that scared my son so much that he literally took off running out of one of the rooms! There is a section at the end that, if I were claustrophobic, I think might have put me over the edge, so be warned! My son was a champ throughout, though. I'd say it was successful, since at the end, he said, "I never want to go through that again!" The "Extreme Nightmares" was on par with the first house, just with a different theme. I enjoyed the actor that "welcomes" you into the house with his live rat and snake. I enjoyed petting the rat and the snake, although the snake was a little creepy, since I'm not much of a fan. That is the point, after all, though, right? To be scared or creeped out? Again, I jumped several times, and was again glad I got there early so that I could enjoy the scenes without a bunch of other people breathing down my back. Again, there were lots of actors, and I appreciated that in some cases, rather than just jumping out to scare you, they interacted with you. The 3D house isn't quite as scary as the other two, in my opinion, unless you aren't a fan of clowns. The 3D glasses and paint really were a neat effect, and more fun to look at (like a fun house) than scary. Still totally worth it, and I think it's good for something different. This was my son's favorite of the three houses, probably because it wasn't as traditionally scary. He was weird about wanting to wear the 3D glasses in the beginning, so he didn't want to grab a pair. A little ways in, though, I gave him mine, and I loved hearing his repeated "Whoas!" and "That's cools!" as he looked at the 3D effects. Perhaps surprisingly, the hayride did not disappoint either. After walking through the 3 houses, it was a nice break, and it felt good to just sit down and enjoy the ride. My favorite features of the hayride were a fire feature that you encounter during the ride, as well as the barn at the end, with a really creepy animatronic dragon that comes out and kind of "dances" over the hay wagon. There was another little boy about my son's age on the wagon, who was so terrified that he curled up into a ball and actually started clinging to random strangers to protect him. That was fun to watch, especially with my son trying to tell him, "Dude! It;'s not real!" Lol. The kid was okay in the end and stood up all proud and macho, pretending he wasn't scared at all. Oh... I almost forgot about the water feature! Keep your eyes peeled and pay attention, or you might get nailed like I did with a stream of water. I'm glad it was warm last night. We had a great time, and I'll definitely be heading back next year! I may even go again this year and take my son to the more kid-friendly daytime event so he can do another hayride, paint a pumpkin, and see some farm animals!
