Haunted Maze

On the outskirts of Richmond, Utah, the Haunted Maze at a working family farm flips a one-acre straw labyrinth into something deliciously unnerving when October nights fall. What begins as an 8-foot-walled maze of tightly stacked straw bales becomes a theater of staged scares, eerie sound design, and surprise characters during select Saturday evenings from 8:00 p.m. until the last ticket sells at 10:30 p.m. Visitors can expect to spend 45-90 minutes finding a way through winding corridors, dead ends, and purpose-built jump scares, with trained guides stationed throughout to keep the experience thrilling but safe.

The site pairs old-fashioned fall fun with carnival energy: a Giant Slide for racing down the hillside, a Jump Pad that sends kids and adults bouncing into fits of laughter, and a hands-on Play Area with a corn pit and a towering Straw Pyramid. The Pumpkin Patch—proudly ranked the #1 Pumpkin Patch in all of Utah by ABC News—offers rows of gourds for carving, decorating, and porch displays without requiring general admission. Ticketed extras include a Corn Cannon for target practice, a Mechanical Bull for rodeo-style chaos, and a Mechanical Swing Ride that spins riders into a windblown grin.

This attraction matters to Cache Valley because it blends agricultural heritage and seasonal celebration. The straw maze is built from practical farm materials—8-foot walls of hay—turned into an interactive landscape that pushes team skills, memory, and nerve. Families, groups of friends, and haunt enthusiasts converge here; the mix of gentle kid-friendly features and late-night haunted runs makes the site uniquely flexible for a wide range of visitors.

Plan for uneven ground, dusty pathways, and rural lighting; sturdy shoes and a flashlight are smart for late shows. Parking is generally on gravel lots adjacent to the farm. Expect lines on weekend evenings in October and buy tickets online in advance via the provided FareHarbor booking link to avoid sellouts.

Accessibility varies: the maze's straw-walled corridors and uneven footing make full accessibility challenging, so reach out to the operators ahead of time if you have mobility concerns. Whether you arrive for a family afternoon of pumpkins and slides or for the pulse-raising Halloween performance, the Haunted Maze delivers a textured, local-flavor night out that celebrates fall on the farm. It’s a hands-on reminder that seasonal recreation can be playful, slightly spooky, and deeply rooted in the agricultural landscape of Richmond, Utah.

Groups should budget time to explore the Pumpkin Patch and photo ops, and many visitors pair a maze run with nearby dining in Richmond or a drive into Logan for evening meals. Wear layers—the temperature can drop quickly after sunset—and bring cash for concession stands and ticketed attractions that require separate tokens or tickets. And souvenirs.
