If you're looking for a fun, Halloween thrill, do the Dead End Hayride! I highly recommend this activity. It was easily hands down one of the best haunted hayride/house trail experiences I've had! We went as a group of 4 and had a blast! I didn't expect the haunted house trails right after the hayride but it certainly spooked me in the best way possible! To our delight, it was long trails with a variety of creepy sceneries. It felt like we were in a scary movie scene on multiple sets. They did such a good job with decorating and creating elaborate spine tingling scenes. They did a good job of popping out and scaring us along the way too, which gave us all a good chuckle! After our spooktacular experience, we enjoyed a few beers around a fire in their cute Halloween village! It was full of cafe lights, cute decor, food truck vendors and more! I highly recommend coming here for a haunted hayride experience you won't forget!

I have been going for years and I have to say each year they truly outdo themselves. When I say it's legit I am not exaggerating. If you know you know... the production and realness they add to every element of this hayride! And when I say hayride that's an understatement. Yes part is a hayride and parts are walking through corn fields and busses and dungeons. PSA: they are allowed to touch you! The more scared you look, the more you will get picked on (I should know) Such a great date night or night out with friends! Free parking. I would recommending purchasing tickets ahead of time. They have a few options for tickets but lines can get long so I think the VIP passes are worth it especially on weekends. They have food trucks and beer garden for after!

Wanna have a little spooky fun over the Halloween Month of Spooky stuff... you need to check out this hidden Dead End Hayride out in Wyoming MN! I convinced Nate to go cause you know why not and it was some good tummy laughs, jump scares with almost peeing my pants from my daughter and her friend getting scared! I loved it! Take your family, go with your friends, take a date this is something you need to do before we are under lock down for a long winter! They do have a couple food truck options out there which was sooooo nice! Deep Fried Chicken Tacos...yes please! Apple Cider Slushy...delicious! Donut were ok... Already planning another weekend to head out with my friends to get another scare in!

Easily one of the best haunted hayride/haunted house experiences I've had. Also, yes it's both. Arriving takes you down a narrow and bumpy frontage road, so take your time. It's like gravel and gets a ton of dust kicked up. The lot itself once there has ample parking so no worries there. Once inside there are numerous food vendors and an over 21 section if you'd like to grab a drink (beer/seltzer) before heading to the line like we did. The line moves pretty well but for standard pass, is long, but nothing out the norm. The ride itself takes about 20 minutes, I won't add spoilers, and it drops you off in the back of the lot area. From there you have a 40-1hr walk back through numerous, high production houses. This place is super well done with worthwhile scares and quality sets and staff. Can't give it enough kudos other than to tell you to check it out yourself!

WOW. I never thought I'd be that person who can't stop talking about a "haunted house" to pretty much anyone who will listen. But for the past 2 days, that's been me. Dead End Hay Ride is worth every penny. **highly recommend the fast pass over general admission. On the night that I went, the VIP tickets weren't necessary. COSTCO IS SELLING DEEPLY DISCOUNTED FAST PASS TIX** The production value of this MASSIVE haunted experience is still blowing my mind. In between my blood curdling screams I would note how completely professional the sets and props were. This farm takes the business of scaring people for a solid hour and a half very seriously. And afterward they entice you with a beer garden (with fire pits and tons of seating) and several dinner and dessert food trucks. You will not regret going. It's worth the drive from the cities. I will go every year.

This is a Minnesota Fall Must-Do! Most haunted experiences are you blick and miss it, but this is a great long length! It starts with a 20-minute scary hayride and then continues to keep going with 3+ haunted houses deep in the woods. The company definitely knows how to run an operation with lots of details, performers, and scary effects! I was extremely impressed by how organized everything was and how easy the experience on the attendee. I thought the attraction was very scary throughout the whole time, which can be difficult to do when providing such a long experience! Great food truck options and wide availability for people to attend! This experience is like no other! Definitely worth the price, recommend spending the extra money on an immediate access pass. Plenty of parking! I will be coming back every year!

Great photo opportunity
Justin R.

Wow! This place is so fun and there is a lot to do. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. The hayride was so much fun and I would recommend you get the fast pass to skip the lines. They have some food trucks that are very good. I recommend for families to check out the pumpkin patch or even all the events they have( apple launcher, paintball, cornpit, slides, petting zoo) I will definitely be back soon with my family.

Thanks Kara for the scary fun yelp event at Dead End Hayride! We visited on a Sunday night @8pm and with the Fast Pass we walked straight in and were on a hayride within 10 minutes that alone makes it 5 stars nothing kills a good time like standing in line! I would advise the fast pass or VIP because the general admission line was the scariest thing of the night.lol The scale of this huge production is off the charts. There were so many different facets and moving parts and during our time going through it everything was flawless as far as I could see. The props went off at the exact times and actors jumped out and interacted with our group right on cue. The costume actors were great they had tons of energy and it made for a great experience. There's also big area for food/drinks and entertainment. Beer garden, games for kids, music stage and a variety of food and sweets options. Parking was free and very smooth process employees guided you to a spot in the field they used for parking. Restrooms were located all throughout the event grounds even around the haunted areas since we know how some people get when they get scared Event venue A+ Props A+ Employees A+ Parking. A+ Concessions A

Wow!!! We were in for a spooktacular hayride. We chose the VIP so we could bypass the wait and that was worth it. Lots of different haunted spots to experience. My favorite was the junkyard... being chased by the monsters was quite fun LOL! We decided to make this an annual thing as we enjoyed it that much. Plus, the were professional and so welcoming to us!

Stephan S.

First things first....GO! This place is soooo fun! It takes about 20 minutes to do the hayride. The hayride drops you off and it takes about 40mins-1hr to get back to the main area where the food is located. We got the immediate access passes....so worth it! Worth it! Without it you stand in line for a long time...but even that would be worth it. We arrived and it was plenty of parking. The gravel road was hella bumpy...but I forgive them. We reserved tickets online and were able to get in the gates quickly. We went straight to the hayride. Short wait with the immediate pass. The hayride was beyond fun. Im scaried easily and it was scary but tolerable. The penitentiary was so amazing! The details were spectacular! You walk through a prison and then it transitions to a graveyard, slaughterhouse and so much more. Honestly it is hard to pull the words...you are just so immersed. I LOVED IT! And I will go back!

Fast past line for the hayride!

Props were amazing, well done and not tacky. Fun energy from the actors! Each section was so fun to go through. Recommend getting fast passes though.

Ask the Community - The Dead End Hayride

Are costumes allowed for riders?

Yes they are

Would this attraction be okay for someone who has never been to a haunted house before? Could they handle it?

Possibly. Depends on how scared they get. This is much scarier than say the haunted house at a fair. I would also make sure they have a strong heart.

Can 11 and 12 year olds go on the hayride and haunted house without adults?

Yes.

What should we bring?...

Nothing. Dress for the weather and wear comfy shoes! You'll be walking outside.

I have gone to the Dead End Hay Ride three times in the past and this year we tried the Pumpkin Trail. Both attractions are absolutely worth the money! We got there as soon as it opened and there were already tons of cars parked. Multiple lines were opened so getting in went relatively quickly. Grabbed some quick snacks at the food trucks before going to see the animals and then the trail. You can get through the trail quickly if you just power walked it, or meander and take your time and take lots of photos. I would absolutely return next year with my toddler for the trail again! Highly recommend.

Day-time operation clearly focuses more on children and being a place that parents can bring their kids to get their wiggles without the parents having to do much. I say this because a number of the attractions were gate-kept by age/weight/height restrictions, so there really wasn't very much for me to do. Although I did enjoy going down the slide numerous times just because I could (which was shockingly free... so many other places make you pay to ride the big slide), and played on the obstacle course a good amount. I would've jumped in the corn pit too, but it was constantly churning with little bodies and I didn't want to cause issues. Like I said, I think they expect the adults to just do day-drinking and vibe. Still, I enjoyed exploring the place and appreciating the fall decor. Took a number of selfies with the photo-ops they had erected here and there. Getting a "lay of the land" during the day was actually sorta helpful for later-- because I stayed for night operation when it becomes Dead End Hayride, so I knew exactly where I was going even though it was dark. It also paid off to be there for day-op because I'd gotten a parking spot in the third row of the lot, whereas people arriving for Dead End had to park waaaaay in the back and walk really far just to get to the entrance. Meanwhile all I had to do was exit, walk around to the queue, and re-enter-- easy-peasy! Took the tractor ride out to the pumpkin patch and wandered, snapping photos. I wasn't there to buy gourds myself, but they certainly had a fun arrangement of different ones you could get, and they facilitated the purchase of them by offering orange wheelbarrows (like a shopping cart for farms, lol). All the employees I ended up interacting with were friendly and helpful though, and that was nice. For example, I'd brought my Hydroflask with me and quickly discovered there weren't any water fountains on premise... but I asked the lady at the donut shop and she refilled it for me from the tap they had in the back! Hooray! No dehydration for me! The gift shop is a little sparse. Again, mostly geared for children, with a lot of candy, toys, plush, etc. But they also sell apparel and foodstuffs in a small assortment. I'd been expecting a lot more, like a farmer's market, but no such luck. I'd been hoping for a bit more of a "shopping experience" and come home with some fun new yummy things to try, and that didn't happen. The food court features a lot of the typical county fair style food. The majority of them were closed on the day I was there, because I wasn't there on the weekend. (However, they did all seem to be open during nighttime.) This really wasn't any big deal to me personally because I'm usually too cheap to eat when I go to a place like this. Although I did eventually cave to the temptation to get three donuts for $6 (got an assortment of flavors: blueberry, apple cider, and chocolate!). It's too bad the road leading up to this place isn't paved? It's a dirt road for nearly TWO MILES. I took it slow and easy at 20mph, which irritated everyone else who blasted around me and threw up dust everywhere. One BIG negative that I have to mention is about the Apple Blasters. They looked fun, don't get me wrong, the the price tag was definitely too steep for me to decide to partake, but the issue was with the billboard advertising the prices. It was AI-generated. YUCK! It made zero sense to me considering that throughout the rest of the farm were human-made art pieces that looked really cool! Including all the fun different painted dinosaurs you could seek out. So why suddenly not get an artist to make your sign for apple blaster pricing??

My tickets were for 8, but I didn't get to go in until 9 because the line was slow. We did get to see two showings of an aerialist in line, which did help make it a bit more bearable. However, you figure out that the line is so slow because they do a good job of keeping each group small and spaced out, allowing you to enjoy the haunted house at your own pace. The house was actually a well decorated maze, so it was a puzzle trying to figure out where to go. The actors cannot touch you, but there was a good amount of jump scares. We ended up taking 20-25 minutes to go through the maze. There were also a couple photo opportunities inside. We exited into a gift shop and went to the bar which had a drag show (i think this was a special and isn't a regular occurrence, so it was a nice surprise). i also love that there were lots of photo ops outside. I didn't pay for my tickets and $40 sounds a little steep but it was fun, and I'm seeing some discounts available for specific dates and MEA weekend, so I would say it's worth it if you find a discount day!

We complained about the lag time but 2 other ladies just standing around doing nothing said "oh, we're used to it!" And I said "We're not." They're clearly inept throughout this entire facility. At the paintball zombie line up, there's no one there so you don't know if you're in the right spot, or if they're doing the hunt or what! When you get on, here's their announcement: "Don't shoot guns across the other guns or they'll break. Everyone sit down while the tractor is moving. If you need more paint balls we sell them." In our group of 8, we had no idea how many paint balls or how long the ride was to manage our usage. Only when we were done did we find out there were 5 scenes with 100 paint balls to use. On top of that, most guns didn't illuminate the balls so you can't tell if you're shooting and if you are, you can't tell where you're hitting. Overall, the lack of management and organization ruins this experience. Hard to believe they are still in business.
