Ghosts, Witches & Dinosaurs Haunted Forest
- see all dates
A daytime haunted forest trail is debuting in Manorville this Halloween season, where spooky meets stroller-friendly fun with ghosts, witches and dinosaurs. If your little ones are curious about Halloween but not quite ready for full-on fright, there's a brand-new daytime haunted forest experience in Manorville that might be just the right mix of spooky and sweet.
Tucked behind Haunted Props, this family-friendly trail winds through the woods and features fog, strobe lights, and all the creepy-but-cute creatures your kids can handle — think animatronic ghosts, witches, dinosaurs (yes, dinosaurs!), and more. Along the way, you’ll meet friendly witches and take in light haunt scenes designed with families in mind. No jump scares or scream-worthy thrills here — just a gentle introduction to haunted happenings.
Even better? The trail is stroller-friendly and pairs nicely with a festive lineup of food trucks, craft vendors, and even a few farm animals to visit once you've had your fill of fog and fun.
Parent Tip: While it's built for the younger crowd, there are still spooky elements like fog effects, strobe lights, and eerie sounds. Every child handles things differently, so a bit of parental discretion is advised.
Be sure to visit the storefront, Haunted Props for a free, walk-through Halloween experience and museum. This might be better for older kiddos!
