Saving Pumpkins: FarmScare Opening Night Delayed to Prepare for Early-Season Freeze

FarmScare, Axdahl’s Haunted Trail and Maze, will not be open this weekend due to the impending early-season freeze.

FarmScare will open next weekend, and haunt those who walk the trail through October.

Leslie Axdahl said the haunted trail’s opening weekend has to be put off a week so staff can pick pumpkins before the freeze.

This is the second year of the haunt, and Axdahl believes people will really enjoy it.

Admission is $12. A $2 discount is offered to people who bring a non-perishable food item for the food shelf. 

ABOUT: There are more than 20 costumed actors throughout the trail of terror through Axdahl’s barn, wooded path, corn maze and the "red" room.

RATED: S (for scary) Not recommended for children under 14. (13 and under must be accompanied by an adult)

DATES: Friday and Saturday evenings in October: 
Oct. 5-6, 12-13, 19-20 and 26-27.

HOURS: Dusk-10 p.m. (ticket sales end at 10 p.m.)

By day, the action at Axdahl’s is family-friendly and centers around Spookley the Square Pumpkin.

There are hayrides, pick your own pumpkin patch, animals to feed and pet—two miniature horses, a pot belly pig, two dwarf goats and a Nubian goat.

Spookley the Square Pumpkin plays in Silo Theatre (scary movies playing during the haunt), and a corn maze (not scary during the day, but haunted at night!).

But at dusk, Axdahl’s transforms into FarmScare.
