Haunted Hayride at Eagle Creek Park

Eagle Creek Park is bringing back its Haunted Hayride for the 2026 Halloween season, and it's running on two nights: Friday, October 23 and Saturday, October 24. Both go from 6 PM to 10 PM, so you've got a four-hour window each night to work around your plans.

The hayride is the main draw here, and it's exactly what it sounds like—a ride through the park on a hay-filled wagon, with the spooky stuff happening along the way. It's one of those classic fall activities that works just as well for a group of friends as it does for a family outing, especially since it's out in the park rather than tucked away in a warehouse or a parking lot.

If you're planning to go, keep in mind that the ride runs on both Friday and Saturday, so you've got two chances to catch it. Both nights run from 6 PM to 10 PM, which gives you plenty of time to arrive and get through the line without feeling rushed. If you're bringing a group, having that second night as a backup is a nice safety net in case Friday doesn't work for everyone.

Tickets are $15 per person, and you'll need to pay for park admission on top of that to get inside. With the ride running from 6 PM to 10 PM on October 23 and 24, you can pick whichever night fits your schedule best.
