Cant wait for 2021! We did the haunted hay drive - it was a blast! It may have been a bit of a wait to drive through, but good friends and good conversation got us through that. The attraction itself was great! The actors were so much fun and interactive. Would recommend this attraction to everyone!

Excellent! We did the drive through, and it was fantastic. Great actors , and lots of surprises. The owner Matt was at the end asking every car if they had a good time.

This was a great experience for a quick thrill! Loved taking my mother with us! A lot of time definitely went into the props and set up. We came from Iowa and will come back again.

Great experience! While we were waiting, actors moved up and down the line keeping us entertained. The ride itself was very scary! They kept the cars spaced out enough so you could enjoy the scenery.

Got to visit the reimagined drive through experience this Abandoned Hayride this year. Each car got its own personal show. It was terrifying and freaking driving through there. The staff did a great job of making sure everyone got scared and stayed safe. I would definitely recommend it!

A group of ultra creative actors, artists and technicians put together a fun drive through haunted forest. Great jump scares, amazing sets and ultimately a memorable experience. We stayed cozy warm in our car and screamed all the way through!

***Long Review But Worth Reading If You Are Considering Going***We understand the changes that were made to accommodate COVID-19 guidelines, but this was a HUGE disappointment. We drove over an hour and a half after reading the positive reviews and the time we reserved was 10:15 PM. We waited....and we waited....and we waited for over an hour before we actually got to the beginning of the attraction. We took a picture at the beginning with a timestamp of 11:17 PM and we were out by 11:28 PM. It was eleven minutes....and it was not even “scary” in the slightest. The tickets were over $20 PER PERSON. It should have been priced per vehicle, and it then would still not be worth the money. We wouldn’t recommend to anyone.

Loved it!! Brought my 17 and 8 year old and the younger one cried. It was their first time at a haunted place, and I thought it would the perfect chance to have them experience something like this for the first time rather then the walk-thru experience. Will always be coming back!

We had such a great time at the abandoned hayride! It’s been such a weird year and although things were different with covid19, the staff went above and beyond to provide some Halloween fun! The costumes/ make up/ sets were so detailed and there were plenty of jump scares. Highly recommend! We will be back next year!

A fun, short, scary experience. Very well executed considering the current COVID19 situation. Wait times were long on Sunday. Detailed and creepy sets. Great acting.

We did the drive through scary experience and it was a massive failure. 4 people in the car, after tax it came out to about $20/person, and all we really saw was the rear end of an Escalade. Nothing seemed scary in the slightest, the effort seemed mediocre at best, in all honesty I felt like I got swindled at the end of it. I came in with lower expectations and an open mind because this is the first I’ve heard of this, but this still somehow extremely disappointed me. Do not recommend, save your money.Update: Still haven’t heard from you guys! Looking forward to you reaching out.

The drive thru was great! Startling and creepy! Lots of characters that are interactive. All from the safety of your car. I’ll be back next year!!

Awesome experience! Very innovative given covid guidelines. 10/10 Recommend!

This haunt was epic!! The owner Matt is so friendly and personally pulled us aside and asked how our experience was! We will definitely keep supporting screamtown and abandoned hayride!

Haunted houses are not my thing so took a chance on the drive thru version. Terrified from start to finish! 1000 screams!

Awesome experience! very innovative with the new covid guidelines! 10/10 recommend!

Absolutely AMAZING!! A MUST for an unparalleled Halloween experience! Don’t miss out on this one!De G

Amazing experience! Loved the innovation. 10/10 recommend!

Most fun I’ve had in a long time!!! Great scares, great sets!! I’lol be back next year.

Very fun and immersive. Really fun light effects and fun staff.

It was a very long wait before we drove into the haunt... but when you entered.. the only way out is the same way in.. so we sat in the car and waited for everyone to clear this one passageway. Very tedious process.. AND one of the team members who was a monster kept hitting the car my boyfriend is a car fanatic so he was not happy. Monsters Please don’t touch our cars!!!! Especially during covid. This Abandon Hayride is NOT worth it. Should’ve been $15 a car not a person.

Amazing experience! Sets were elaborate and entertaining! And SCARY!!

Had an awesome time, family friendly yet still scary

Staff did a great job but very short for the amount paid.

Even though The Abandoned Hayride is The Abandoned Drive Thru this year, the actors, sets, and technological aspects were top notch and were a wonderful balance of terrifying and fun- I never wanted it to end! Based on The Abandoned Drive-Thrus performance last night, I will definitely be trying my best to come out some time to visit the neighboring Screamtown and I will for sure be recommending the drive-thru event to all of my friends. FANTASTIC work this season to all involved! I really cannot wait to come back next fall to have the actual Abandoned Hayride experience (and receiving a ticket to come back next season for the full experience was super generous of them to do and a very nice surprise!).

Drive through experience was super solid, the team spent a lot of time on it and it was amazing!

I really enjoyed this, it was super fun and scary and i highly recommend!

Had a blast, was very scary and good sets!

We love, love love, scream town, but the abandoned hayride lacked scares and a car broke down in front of us, which ruined the spooky fun.

Was very quick like 3 minutes and not scary at all. Waste of money not pleased with the experience

It’s kind of scary but not worth the 20 bucks. You guys should just go pay the extra 10 and go to scream town that’s at the same place. It’s a very short ride. Wouldn’t recommend it.

Price absolutely ridiculous for 5 min course that wasn’t even scary, waited in line for over an 1 for a 5 min scare. PRICE WAS RIDICULOUS AND NOT WORTH.

This hayride was amazing! Its totally worth visiting

Best haunted attraction in MN!! Well worth the VIP!

This was by far the best thing Ive done in a long time. It was an unbelievable show, it was super scary super and entertaining, you never knew what was gonna happen next. Our group had the best night ever. we will definitely be coming back next year!!!

Absolutely a great experience and well worth the money!! If you like checking out haunts you HAVE TO GO!Honestly the Hayride was our groups least favorite part of the 4 attractions that are included. That being said, the Hayride is fun and the sets are mostly amazing. It has the potential to be fantastic. Maybe because it’s new some of the kinks are being worked out but there wasn’t much scare on the actual Hayride. However, I LOVED the transition into the second attraction. It was fun albeit short. The last 2 parts were hands down the best!!! They actually space you out!!!!! Our group was so ecstatic! We don’t mind waiting in line a while so that we can have a better spooky experience walking alone and not running into other groups! Please do not change this aspect! The woods were creepy AF! It actually felt at moments that we were just lost in the woods next to a Haunt attraction and it was awesome, especially after they took our light!!!! We all agreed Delirium was the BEST part of the whole thing. I was actually scared! I really appreciate the hard work they put into this. The actors and the sets were very good! The creepy paintings on the wall in Delirium were frightening!I haven’t been to Scream Town in a few years but if they have elevated it to the level of Abandoned Hayride then I am absolutely gonna go back and check out all of the Scream Town attractions now!!! Great job! I’m thoroughly impressed!! I had more fun here than at Dead End this year!

The hayride was amazing. It was creative, fun, scary, unique, good, and well worth your drive. I have been going to dead end hay ride for years and this was better than that. It was very evident Matt worked hard to make this a memorable time as well as make sure his staff gave you a scary experience. When you meet Matt he always asks if you enjoyed your visit makes sure you had a good time. It is right next to scream town so you can do both. You will have an amazing night. Well worth five stars. Scream town alone got rated best in Minnesota.

The drive thru was amazing and suspenseful!

This was awesome! Surprises around every corner!

Excellent dedicated scaring very amazing actors!!!

We did the Abandoned Hayride for the 1st time on Saturday night and it was AMAZING!!!! The whole experience was great! The actors did a fantastic job of dressing the part and they were SO respectful! The layout of the whole thing was well thought out and put together! This was 100% worth the money and I would do it again in a heartbeat! Seriously go check it out!!

This was an excellent hayride. It was scary, fun and surprising. I heard many shrieks from the riders. The actors put on an amazing show. There was so much more than just the hayride. This was definitely worth the price of admission and I cant wait to go back. There has never been a hayride this scary good.

I have been to the abandoned hay ride twice this year!! It was awesome!! Definitely a different experience than any other hay ride Ive been to! I dont want to ruin any surprises, but I will say the actors do a phenomenal job and have created some mind blowing scenes! I would highly recommend going and checking it out for yourself

I came all the way from Hudson Wisconsin to see what this reinvented hayride was all about. Not in a million years would I have expected this! So scary and so interesting! The actors are phenomenal and walking through the woods really makes it feel like you’re just out there. Would recommend 100%

What an amazing experience!!! I have traveled to many haunts in my life and have been on quite a few hayrides but nothing could compare to this. The special effects, the actors and the set pieces were all top notch and the crowd interactions are second to none. If you go to just one haunted attraction this Halloween season be sure to visit the Abandoned Hayride!!!

Awesome hayride, super nice owner!! Shout out to some of the younger looking actors they had, they totally killed it! You can really tell these actors enjoy doing what they do!!! Enjoyed screamtown this year, but definitely recommend checking out the abandoned hayride as well!! The owner was so personable and nice to my group, I felt very welcomed!! Super great of him to check with guests!! Overall great experience, will be back next year!!! These guys really out did themselves!!! A+++

Have never been to a haunted attraction before, so didn’t know what to expect and how I would react.I think the hayride itself was super unique and a really great setup to the rest. Great actors!The maze didn’t have much in terms of scares, but being pitch black and tight corners definitely got the adrenaline pumping.Unintentionally went during the black out night, so no lanterns for the Foresaken section. Don’t know if that was what made it tricky, or just the lack of trail markers, but definitely want to watch your step on this one. The roots and branches snapping back as you walk caught me by surprise more than the scares. Minus the slightly treacherous path, perfect setting for this and again, great actors. Definitely my favorite of the attractions.Delirium was a solid end to the event in the form of a more traditional haunted house walk through. Nice lighting and jump scares. Had also been a little nervous about the touching aspect of the attractions, but the actors used it perfectly. Just enough to make your skin crawl without being too rough or in your face.Overall was it terrifying? No. But definitely a unique and well thought out experience. Had to be dragged to come but would definitely consider it again next year, especially if they keep improving and updating it

Thank you Matt Dunn! Hayride? More like Immersion into one creative mind. Production and acting far beyond haunted attraction level. Ive been to many attractions, but this is unique in concept and execution.

Wow, that was intense! Such a unique and terrifying experience. I had no idea what to expect and it completely exceeded my expectations. Easily the scariest haunt attraction in the metro and the best one that I’ve ever been to. Would definitely go again!!

My group enjoyed their time there. The hayride was fun and really entertaining. The only downside was the length of the whole event which was short, and we didn’t have a whole lot of jump scares.But still a really awesome event for its first year open!

Extremely entertaining and scary

Abandoned hayride was awesome, it was me my husband, youngest daughter, granddaughter and her boyfriend that went. The scenery was great and the actors all were amazing. We will definitely return, probably this year again with more people.. Thanks for a fun night.

Had a blast with my girlfriend last week! Lots of great scares and surprises! Don’t want to give away too much, but the interactive actors really made the experience special and extra scary. Absolutely worth the money, hope to get out there again before the end of the spooky season!

It was awesome! It was my first time with my son and hubby and we loved it! We will definitely be returning next year. And I will invite everyone else to go with.

One of the best if not the best haunted attraction in MN. Speaking as a “scare-actor” for 7 years (not affiliated with this attraction), and 30 years a Halloween/haunt fan who tries to attend 6-8 haunts a year. Before 2019 I pretty consistently rated The Dead End hayride as the best haunt in MN, but The Abandoned Hayride beat them out this year! Other Haunts have tried the “theatrical” approach and failed (quite miserably I might add) but not this one! In addition to the one of a kind (that I’ve experienced) hayride the attraction includes an outdoor trail walk as well as indoor parts, so you get a taste of everything. There is no other haunt that compares to the value you get here either. No spoilers here, just take my word for it and GO SEE THIS HAUNT!

Great definitely recommend!

The best hayride experience Ive ever had! Highly recommend for all those that are fans of horror and halloween! You definitely get the bang for your buck here and the actors are all incredible! Hope to come back again!

Super fun and scary time!!!!

It was entertaining... kind of. The event staff had no idea about how the tickets worked and were overly drunk - one admitted to me he was being paid in alcohol. Hayride was short and boring. Extremely predictable. The haunted houses were difficult to navigate. Jump scares were easy to prepare for because my group caught on quickly to the notifications the actors were sending to eachother as we passed them and you could see the white face paint in the darkness. I was told by the guy giving lanterns to get my period and go bleed to death in the woods... for asking if the lantern will turn off half way through - which it did. My group wasnt impressed with that comment. Touch attraction? I experienced more of being screamed at in the face than being touched. The mixture of fog machine and chainsaw exhaust was nauseating. Didnt scream once.

This was a great ride through out. Pretty terrifying, big groups or not. Saw some pretty awesome stuff. And although the “monsters” can touch you, they don’t over do it. A 40-45 mins experience that keeps on going and doesn’t have a long of period of time of you wondering when the next guy gonna pop out. Speaking of the next guy, props to all the performer, actors, etc. This was really well done.

Honestly had a great time. Kept me on my toes the whole time. Got me to jump a few times (Im hard to scare) and just all around a good experience. Definitely recommend it for teens and adults.

This place did a great job on entertaining the guests. Loved the hayride was very fun and thrilling.. Great job The Abandoned Hayride:)

The hayride was probably the scariest thing I have ever done. I was expecting a flat bed trailer and hay barrels. Not this thing, its stadium seating on a trailer. It was incredible. The shows, the scares, everything. Its a cant miss for this year.

This was my first experience with a haunted-anything, and it was a ton of fun. Greatly exceeded my expectations. Ill definitely go back next year.

I would definitely recommend! My group all enjoyed themselves & will be spending the word to others. Great work to everyone!!

A highly entertaining scary ride with theatrical stage performances along the way. Interesting new twist on traditional Halloween hayrides that Ive never experienced before.

The Abandoned Hayride is a spectacular halloween outing. There was a lot of creative thought into how to create the best possible experience, and it paid off. With a unique hayride setup, you move from one terrifying scene to the next. Its definitely a hands-on experience, with an intense walk thru the woods before youre safe and sound. Highly, highly recommend. And check out Scream Town right next door. Also great.

Wow! This was disorienting and scary in all the right ways! There were so many unexpected twists and surprises. Just as can be expected from the Screamtown folks, there were incredibly detailed and well-thought out sets, visuals, costumes, scares, and illusions. Highly recommended! I’ll need to bring more friends when I go again.

Highly recommend! The actors and actresses did an amazing job! Our group had an absolute blast that left us scared and thrilled the entire time. Will be coming back!!

We had such a good time! Thank you to all the staff that made this fun and unforgettable. We will be back next year!

Awesome show & ride! But once you get off the tractor, everyone is rushed. There was no one directing us where to go so we were quite confused if we were supposed to be walking in such tight spaces.. the trail would have been fun if we were separated! The whole group walked in a line & only the first few people got scared.

My gf and I attended the abandoned hayride on Saturday, October 5th. When we got there, we weren’t told we have to scan our tickets in and had to rush to get them scanned as we were boarding on. The hayride itself was really unique (won’t spoil anything)! It was worth every penny. At the end of the hayride, we were the first off and went through a pitch black house which was spooky, but really creative. I’ve never done something like that. The 3rd part was the walk in the woods with only one lantern. We enjoyed this part but got lost near the end; however, there was this friendly staff member who guided us to the right direction. The last attraction was delirious and was fun to walk through it. Overall besides the issue at the beginning and getting lost because the trails in the woods weren’t marked as well, this was a scary, fun, and a great attraction to come to! I will definitely recommend others to come and check it out.

Very well done!! The cathedral/nuns part could be amped up and The Ring portion ran a bit long but amazing overall!

Hands down the best hayride I have ever been to!! The theatrics and detail that went into making it were mind blowing!!! Can’t wait to go again!!

Was definitely a good time. I dont get scared much at all and this one had me going a bit cause i didnt see it coming. Worth the money!

Great experience. Ultimate VIP has absolutely no wait as advertised and is well worth it

Had a blast!

I went to the Abandoned Hayride tonight for the first time and thought I knew what to expect. I wore weatherproof boots, warm clothes and was prepared for the long wait in the line. The employees were great and I thought everyone did a great job. The only thing I found completely unsafe was when I first got off the hayride and stepped into the maze like attraction. It was obviously dark, there was fog and I anticipated all of those things... but what I didnt expect was to find myself in tight corner with a dead end, starngers pushing me into a wall for almost 3 minutes. I was actually pretty concerned for my safety at one point. The rest was fun but I feel like more guidance would be helpful. I might try again next year

I loved it!!!! It was so scary and elaborate, the actors were AWESOME and overall it was a fun experience. Would strongly recommend.

Wow! The attention to detail and spooky actors was amazing! Super scary! One of the best haunted attractions I’ve ever been to!!

This was the best haunted house I’ve been to. NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART!

Had a Blast

That was soooo much fun!!!! the actors are the best ever and the hayride is so awesome because the actors will come on it’s very scary but so much fun definitely recommend

Really fun. Lots of effort put into everything. We had a blast.

Im a huge fan of screamtown and as such had high hopes for this years new hayride. Unfortunately, I never made it through my time slot as they were having technical difficulties early on in the night. Im giving the review for their outstanding customer service (free regular admission to screamtown while we were waiting)and unfortunate logistical problems. It was their first night so I hope it gets better!

My wife and I had so much fun on The Abandoned Hayride! Cant wait for next year!

The Abandoned Hayride is the best haunted hayride out there. It was a very unique and different hayride experience unlike any other haunted hayride I have been on. I dont want to give away any spoilers but I had a blast and would definitely recommend trying it out as well as ScreamTown. After the hayride I was surprised to find out that the attractions continued. Through a dark maze (getting lost is for sure part of the experience) than through the dark woods (which was still one of my favorite experiences out there). Than ending at a haunted house and eventually to the entrance of ScreamTown. Highly recommend all these attractions. I go every year!!!

Very well done! Was not disappointed! Highly recommended

I’m not one to post reviews but somethings needs to be said about my night at the Abandoned Hayride last night.I’ll start with the hayride itself;You’re crowded into a cart. Nobody has room to move around, many people complained about not being able to see from the back, which is where we sat. Someone in the back even decided to stand so they could see. They also played the music so loud in the cart that you couldn’t hear any instructions when everyone was loaded. Everyone was so confused, we were screaming at the man telling directions we couldn’t hear because of the music but the music was so loud he couldn’t hear us!The ride itself was fine. But the actors were aggressive in the dark and found it hard to get through the cart. My husband hit is head very hard and had a bump and a headache for the rest of the night.We were so crammed, we made friends with the couple next to us and decided to stay close. We got through the maze alright, we were one of the last groups through and kept running into the boards. I even got whiplash from running into them so hard. I was not expecting that.After the maze, we stood in mud and lines for about 20 minutes waiting for a lamp. The next hayride even made it through and into the line by the time we got a light.The walk was dreadful. Only a couple scary things, a husband with a bump on his head and a confused party. The mud was insane. Thankfully we dressed for it.My BIGGEST complaint is how aggressive some of the characters were. They almost seemed to enjoy bullying people. There is a dangerous part of the house where you have lift your legs up to walk through these ovals. An employee got aggressive with me and I ended up falling over that part and now have bruises all over my right leg.We realized how aggressive the employees were and our friends got so scared he got into trouble when he put his hand up to his face. The employee then YELLED at him for putting his hand up, exchanged bad language and then he followed us for the rest of the night screaming security when we did absolutely nothing wrong and had no indication of wanting to harm any employees in any way.At the end of the attraction a woman working there asked me what I thought of the experience and I honestly did not know what to tell her because I was still so shocked at how we were treated and how the night went. I love the trail of terror and have never had a bad experience. I also hear good things about the owners of this place so I’m sure last night was not how it was supposed to go.Never in my life have I felt this way while going through an attraction. The worst was when the employee followed us to the exit still screaming security. He really made our night horrible as we did absolutely nothing wrong. I was really upset with them and hope they can learn from this year because they have something good if they can put the fine tuning on it!

So fun, the best one I have done so far. They did an awesome job

Had a blast

Snooze fest!!! Not worth $25 A PERSON! We bought our tickets online for a posted special night. We had to pick a time slot and yet we stood in line for an hour and was not on the hayride until 1.25hrs after our time slot.Then 4 theatrical short stops on a tractor, then you walk alone on a dark tree stumped covered path with no lights and no entertainment just to get to the end where a worker offers you a screamtown discount pass to pay another $20 to enter screamtown and they close in 30mins.What a joke.

Giving this attraction a 2. Not reflecting on previous experience at screamtown just the hayride. I understand that this is a new attraction, however my group had some issues last night with a couple of actors. They did something they shouldnt have and all that the owner could do was give them free admission for next time almost was like he didnt want the issue even resolved. Like they would want to return after that experience. To be honest I do not blame them! I will NOT be returning to this location again until I know these issues have been resolved.

Incredible!! It’s a very interesting & unique ride. Had a wonderful time with the family!!

Warning - LONG REVIEW (No Real Spoilers) - Opening NightUnlike the majority of the reviews below, I am writing this from the point of someone who actually went to the Abandoned Hayride opening night and does not work for Scream Town itself.First off, yes - The Abandoned Hayride IS a part of Scream Town. However, the Abandoned Hayride is a separate ticket / fee and is NOT INCLUDED as part of the regular Scream Town admission. I dont recall if there was any type of discount for buying both as - originally - we just went to check out the new hayride (and had purchased tickets online for it ahead of time).The Abandoned Hayride consists of four parts: 1. The Hayride, 2. Forsaken, 3. Exiled, and 4. Delirium. Ill give a breakdown of those below.1. The Hayride. They hayride potion of this attraction was AWESOME. Between the different attractions within Scream Town itself and the Abandoned Hayride - the Hayride portion was by far THE BEST. Most haunted hayrides typically involve sitting on a bale of hay on a cart while a tractor pulls you through the woods. Along the way actors jump out and scream /yell or make some other predictable noises.At the Abandoned Hayride, you are loaded onto a cart which holds maybe 50-60 people sat stadium seating style - all facing the same direction. The cart moves along and stops in front of 5-6 different shows where actors will act out a scene which is maybe 5-7 minutes long. I wont spoil what each of the different shows were..but my hope is this part evolves and becomes longer or is changed up annually.2. Forsaken. I think this is what they called the part of the ticket where everyone had to get off of the hayride and walk into the last scene. This amounts to 50-60 confused people trying to weave their way through a pitch-black labyrinth crashing into the walls and each other. Some of the spaces are a bit tight so it may be somewhat claustrophobic for bigger folks.3. Exiled. Coming out of the Labyrinth, you find yourself in the woods and are broken up into groups of 2-3 and given a lantern. Like other Scream Town attractions, they try and spread you out so you dont see whats coming but - unfortunately - most groups were pretty close together. when we went through. Weaving around the woods with your lantern you see a few props and have a few people jump out at you and say something or other. When you reach the end of this part of the attraction, you turn in your lantern and then have to essentially walk all the way back to the backside of Scream Town in the dark. Nothing jumps out at you and it seems more of a walking hazard than anything else. Someone by us slipped and almost ended up in - what looked like - a small pond/creek.4. Delirium. Once you finish your trek from the end of Exiled and get back to the main grounds, you arrive at another haunted house type attraction similar to those in Scream Town. This one seemed a lot shorter and wasnt as good as the ones within Scream Town.As another reviewer had mentioned, they did have some delays last night as it was opening night and they wanted everything working right. The owner / person in charge more than made up for the minor inconvenience by giving everyone who was in line at the time admission to Scream Town AND the VIP pass to use while they were getting things straightened out. That was an awesome gesture on his part and well received by all.While my rating above shows a 3.. it really should be more of a 3.5 (which I cant do). In my opinion, I would say they could do away with parts 2,3, and even 4 - in lieu of adding on more scenes to the hayride itself.

1. The ticketing situation was a bit confusing as Scream Town is here as is multiple VIP offerings with different lines making for a difficult understanding of where to stand. Fortunately there are employees there to direct traffic, but there are still occasional misunderstandings.2. The hayride itself. The wagon has bleacher seating that all faces the same way which is for a good reason as this is more of a theater production than your standard experience. However, they put too many people per wagon leading to knees in backs and no legroom for everyone involved. It also makes it difficult on the actors when they cant walk amongst the people like they are suppose to as theres no room between anyone. The sound mixing was a bit off as sometimes the music was too loud to hear the actors. Other times the switching from live lines to prerecorded lip synching was quite noticeable. With that in mind, the settings were good and well done. Very creepy. Nicely portrayed by the actors.3. The maze that came next consisted of a long, narrow, pitch black hallway, that ended with an opening so small, I was forced to crawl upon my hands and knees to get out. I dont know about other people, buy I dont consider crawling in the dirt getting my pants muddy, a good time.4. The walk in the woods that came next was, an exercise in, uninspired waiting. I stood in the trees for about 10 minutes, so I could get a lantern, to walk a narrow, muddy path, down a hill. The walk was a treacherous one, as its quite literally, on a hill, with greasy mud. Not for the non sure footed. Not many scares here for the distance. Maybe 3 in total. Worse, about 2/3 through, they take your lantern, leaving you to try and navigate this mud trail, in the dark. It is quite slippery, and more than once I nearly turned an ankle.5. Finally, the haunted house at the end. Fair in total. Some good scares and surprises, nice design and actors that were into their respective roles. but again, more mud and some standing water. To be fair, most of these areas would be better without a week of rain preceding the event.In total, an average to above average experience. In my opinion, the ideas put forth on the hayride part are good, varied, and well thought out. There are improvements to be made in rider comfort though.I was not impressed with the maze, or trail walk sections. Not enough seen, heard, or done here. Could be better. The end/haunted house section, was better than the previous 2, but not as good as the hayride. Well intentioned, and excited, if not overly inspired.Overall, i feel a 3.5 is the right score. The Abandoned Hayride, starts out strong, loses its way for a bit, but finishes well. I hope, that they continue to work on this version. I feel it had a ton of potential. There are great ideas on display that make up for the lacking. My hope is that it does well, and improves in the coming years to reach its full potential, because if it does, it could be the greatest Haunted experience in Minnesota!

This sounded fun and then I read all the reviews below me and they are from the workers - ill pass

Such a fun time with the family. Definitely recommend checking this place out!!

I hate to be that one that leaves a bad review :( A group of me and nine others, went last night to the Abandoned Hayride (suggested by me). We originally wanted to do Screamtown, but had four teens in the group who could barely afford the $20 dollars for the hayride. LOL. The price was great for the attraction, but it only took us 40 mins to go through all four haunts, and we were extremely disappointed. Half of the group has never been to a haunted attraction, so I thought this place was going to be great. I made sure to read the reviews and what to expect, and I was super excited. Actually, a lot of the reviews said it was better than Dead End, but those who have been to Dead End, disagreed strongly. The hayride was the highlight of the night. After the hayride part, we could not see a thing in the maze. After the maze, was the woods walk. Again, not scary. The last part was the haunted house, which was another disappointment. When all ten of us met up after, we realized it took us a whopping 42 mins to complete all four attractions. We were hoping for at least an hour and a half of entertainment. We were handed discount tickets for Screamtown for $20 bucks for that night, but all agreed that we should have just gotten tickets for that instead. :/

The show was incredible the actors were amazingThanks for a great time
