FAQs:

What if I want to visit yet not see the barn? You are welcome to walk around the farm and visit our vendors. If you change your mind about seeing the Haunted Barn, we will fix you up with a ticket!

Is the barn open all day? While the gates open at 11 am, the barn begins operation at noon and ends at 7 pm, with occasional breaks for the witch and her spirits during the day. The gates close at 8 pm.

Which Saturday is my ticket good for? Your ticket can be used for one visit on any of the 4 Saturdays in October that the barn is open. Your choice - great flexibility to fit your schedule!

May I go through the barn more than once during my visit? Yes, you may be able to go through the barn several times in one day if the lines are not too long. We highly recommend an earlier Saturday in October to visit if you are interested in going through the barn multiple times during your visit.
