Frequently Asked Questions
BEFORE YOU ARRIVE
Is parking free?
Yes. Parking is free on-site. Carpooling is encouraged, especially on busy nights, as our lot can
fill up quickly.
What are your hours?
We typically open at 6:00 PM and close by 10:00 PM. Check our homepage or ticketing page for nightly variations. Each night we are open 6pm-7pm is Low scare/family hour and we encourage those easily frightened to come during those hours.
Are you open when it rains?
Yes! We operate rain or shine, including during downpours. We only close for extreme weather (e.g., lightning or windstorms) that may endanger guests or staff. Ponchos are encouraged on wet nights and umbrellas are allowed while waiting in line only. Rain has been known to increase the ambience of My Haunted Forest!
When should I visit?
Early season dates (September & early October) offer better weather, shorter lines, and a more relaxed experience. Halloween week tends to be busier and colder—prepare accordingly.
Is each night the same?
No! Each event night in 2026 features a different theme, characters, and part of our haunted storyline. No two nights are the same. Check our homepage for the full list of themed nights.

Wear closed-toe shoes that can handle mud, and dress for the weather. The trail is entirely
outdoors and 1 mile long.

Note: we have free-roaming farm animals on-site.
