There’s just something about the combination of fall feels and haunted Halloween scares that we just love about a good Haunted Hayride experience. Go with a date, bring the whole crew, or even show the kids what real fear looks like. Here’s where to look if you’re looking for haunted hayrides to check out this October:

1. The Haunted Hayride at Becker Farms
3724 Quaker Road, Gasport, NYÂ /Â beckerfarms.com
2019 Dates: October 18th, 19th, 20th, 25th, 26th, 27th

This time of year, Becker Farms pulls out all the stops for their Haunted Hayride and phylotec. Tickets are $10 per person and include both the Haunted Hayride and Phylotec. To make the night even more unforgettable, for an additional $75 you can reserve a campfire for your group to enjoy after the hayride, which is pretty baller IMO. They will light the fire and provide wood to keep it going all. night. long. The best part? You can BYO refreshments to enjoy around the fire. Also, groups of 20 or more can reserve a time for the hayride to start, so they don’t have to wait in line and can enter at discounted pricing too. If you have 20 friends this sounds like a no-brainer to us. Hayrides are weather permitting.

This pumpkin farm has ample opportunities coming up on most Friday and Saturday nights in October for a good scare on a hayride. Tickets are just $7 for kids 16 & under and $10 for adults. Couple things you should know: They accept cash only, they do not accept reservations, they do not sell presale tickets, and tickets must be purchased by 8:30 PM to guarantee a ride. If you’re looking for something a bit less frightening, visit from 12 – 4pm for a mini corn maze, play area, and family hayride.

You’ll end up in the haunted barn which features a “vortex tunnel”. All of these haunts take roughly 40 minutes total, plus the spot offers a cook shack with food for sale. Tickets are $20 per person and kids under 5 are free (LOL). No reservations are necessary and tractors run continuously. Couple things to note: this hayride is open rain or moonlight, no backpacks allowed, handicapped accessible for a majority of the ride, credit/debit is accepted.
