Halloween at Apple Jacks Farm

Spooky World - Fun by Day - is suitable for all the family. Most of our summer attractions, such as the corn cannon, archery, jumping pillow, roller skating, and many more are open as usual and all included in the entrance fee. The haunted attractions, are more ‘spooky’ than scary. Our characters are more welcoming during the daytime and may give you a little jump, but nothing to be too scared about. We also have pumpkin carving leading up to Halloween as well as our very own ‘Spooky Show’.

Scary at Night - is when all our scariest creatures come out to play. We have roaming characters as well as many in each haunt. The haunts change to become as scary as possible and are meant to leave you terrified, but just as thrilled! We are once again changing the attractions this year, so there’s even more to get spooked about. Some of the side attractions are not available in hours of darkness.
