By day, Pinehaven Farm in Wyoming, Minnesota, is a charming and homey place to spend a fall afternoon. You can drink hot chocolate, pet cute animals, and pick out the perfect pumpkin. But at night, the farm takes an entirely different form. When the sun sets, the haunted hayride becomes the star of the show. The folks here have one goal in mind: to scare you as much as possible. Sound interesting? Here’s what you can expect from a hair-raising trip to this haunted hayride in Minnesota.
The Dead End Hayride is one of the most popular haunted attractions in Minnesota, and if you're into the spooky side of fall, then this is one event you don't want to miss.
The haunted hayride has been recognized by local media as well as many online news sources as one of the top Halloween attractions in the country. That's why hundreds line up every night to have the daylights scared out of them.
The owners go out of their way to make the attraction better every year.
Props and costumes get more elaborate each season, and it even builds structures specifically for the hayride.
Dead End is actually three attractions in one. Guests start out on a creepy hayride through the woods. You never know who - or what - might pop out from between the trees or behind one of the ramshackle buildings that line the path.
After the hayride, you're not quite done with your trek of horror. Your next stop is a haunted trail that you've got to make it through.
This place is full of even more scary sights than the hayride. They're so convincing, that you'll be bracing yourself to scream around every corner.
If you make it through the trail in one piece, your next and final stop is... a haunted cornfield. If you're brave enough to enter, you'll have to face down the in-your-face horror of the chainsaw maze. Will you find your way out alive?
The entire attraction lasts about an hour, but there's plenty more to do on-site. Once you finish your night of fright, you can calm down with some food, hot chocolate, or musical entertainment.
The Dead End Hayride opens for the annual season in late September and runs until October 31.
And if that's not enough to convince you, check out this freaky trailer from the 2015 hayride.
