    3. Hay Fort Jump: Kids climb up giant hay bales and jump off onto a soft bed of straw. Many kids don’t make it to the corn maze because they have so much fun here.

    5. Blackout Maze: a maze inside the Livery Stable that is TOTALLY BLACK.
    6. Left-Turn-Only Maze: A maze that allows you to only turn left. No right turns allowed!

    8. Gourd Launcher: Launch gourds at a target with our famous gourd launcher.
    9. Activities at the Farm: It’s harvest time, and we have so much hands-on fun with apple pressing, corn shelling, and other fun activities.  There will be a special theme each week (see calendar). (Open from 1 – 5pm on Saturdays).
    10. Haunted Hollow: "Grimm's Trail of Terror": Northern Utah’s scariest spot! Our Hollow is already scary at night, but we’re making it even scarier as we explore the real Grimm’s Fairy Tales . . . they were NOT written for children. Ages 8 and older advised. Runs Oct. 9-10, 16-17, 23-24, 30 from 7 pm – 10:30 pm. 7 - 7:30 "Pre-Haunt" is for younger kids and features spooky exhibits, but actors remove masks and kids can see the scary stuff without being haunted.
    11. Family Nights: Special activities and parties for families, youth groups and others. Wednesdays 4 - 6 pm beginning Oct. 7. See Calendar below for themes. Come each week for family fun!
    12. Spooky Tales: These stories get everyone excited! Begin Oct. 9 and run nightly from 7 - 8:30 pm. NO SPOOKY TALES ON THESE NIGHTS: Oct. 20, 21, 24, 29
    13. Super Slide: Slide into an abyss of darkness on our giant slide!
    14. Petting Corral: Open until dusk daily.
    15. Warm Restrooms. Don’t laugh! It gets cold out there, and we’re the only corn maze around with warm restrooms and other warm buildings. When it gets chilly, there’s always some place to go that warm here.
    16. Pumpkin Patch Express: Our mini-train, pulled by a tractor, goes through our cute pumpkin patch (for smaller children). ($1 for an unlimited ride ticket--or get a FREE RIDE PASS COUPON above).
    17. Pony Rides
