Haunted Hayrides, Ghosts, Goblins and More!

Every year the Trailside Nature Center does some fun things for Halloween. One of the best is the haunted hayrides they offer from the Deserted Village in the Watchung Reservation.

Imagine visiting a whole village of haunted houses and meeting ghosts of the people who lived and died there. That is pretty much what you will experience on the hayrides at the Deserted Village. The whole village is decorated for Halloween. The total experience is about one house. It is intended for adults and children 6 years of age and older.

The dates for this year’s haunted hayrides are Friday and Saturday, October 21 & 22 from 6:30-10 pm, and Sunday, October 23 from 6:30-9 pm. The cost is $8.00 per person in Union County and $16.00 for those out-of-county.
