It’s spooky season! If you’re looking for a ghostly good time, check out these haunted attractions in Brainerd, Minnesota.
The Northland Arboretum
Head to the Northland Arboretum October 20–22, if—you dare! The annual haunted trail is a popular family event. You’ll walk through the dark trails but beware of what lurks in the shadows! If your ghouls prefer less intense, take the low scare trail. If you like a little more adventure, the intense high scare section will make your screams extreme!
Paul Bunyan Land
If you love October for its spooktacular haunts, then you’ll love the Haunted Hidden Hollows at Paul Bunyan Land just east of Brainerd. It’s central Minnesota’s largest haunted attraction with a corn maze and haunted house. You can do one attraction or both. Do you have what it takes to walk through a corn maze in the dark?! Open weekends: October 14–15, October 21–22, October 28–29. Concessions available.
Safari Scare
Safari Scare is central Minnesota’s newest haunted trail at Safari North Wildlife Park. Safari Scare opens Friday, October 7 and runs Fridays and Saturdays through October 30. Open from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. Haunted trail with a hay ride shuttle. Bonfire with s’more kits. Hot chocolate, mini donuts, caramel apples, cotton candy, and cider. Plus a giant inflatable maze! *No live animals included in Safari Scare event.
