Schuyler Farms
Schuyler Farms in Schuylerville features a haunted corn maze every Friday and Saturday night in October.
The corn maze challenges you to navigate the winding labyrinth with only the light of your flashlight. As you advance through the different buildings and sections of the maze, watch out for the creatures that lurk in the dark. You must also avoid getting caught by the masked men with chainsaws that follow you throughout the maze.
Check out the "sTALK of the town" and be prepared for a scary good time. Schuyler Farms is also open during the day for a traditional corn maze experience.
Fright Fest at The Great Escape
From September 30 - October 29, 2024, visit the Great Escape for a fright experience like no other.
During the day, enjoy the food, rides, and other attractions, but watch your back at night. When the sun sets, the ghouls are released, turning the theme park into a thrilling nightmare.
Monsters roam around the park looking for their next victim to scare. Be careful riding rollercoasters because you might get stuck with an undead creature sitting next to you! You can also take on any of the four specialty haunted houses throughout the park.
Whether you get your thrills from the rides or the unsettling horror, Fright Fest is a must-visit Halloween attraction.
