Residents of Zumbrota and the greater Rochester area have a fresh Halloween option this year: Fright at the Farm, a haunted attraction set on a working hemp farm and maze just off Highway 52. The venue bills itself as the only haunted cannabis maze in the United States and one of Minnesota’s largest seasonal scares.
Two Ways to Get Spooked
The attraction offers two distinct experiences, each scheduled for Friday and Saturday nights in October. The first, called the Theatrical Haunted Attraction, runs from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. and is designed for families with children ages ten and up. Guests walk through a series of elaborately staged scenes featuring special effects, projectors, animatronics and dynamic lighting. New for 2026, glow sticks are provided; shining a stick on a monster temporarily freezes the figure, adding an interactive element to the scare.
The second option is the Blackout experience, which begins at 10 p.m. and ends at 11 p.m. For this portion, all ambient lighting is turned off and each party receives a single LED candle to navigate the darkened maze. The darkness heightens the tension, and many visitors admit the experience is “so spooky you might poop your pants,” but it remains a popular choice for thrill‑seekers who want a more intense haunt.
Ticket Pricing and Current Promotion
Admission to either the Theatrical or Blackout experience costs $20 per person. Guests who wish to enjoy both sections must purchase two tickets. At the time of writing, the attraction is offering a limited‑time promotion that halves the price, making tickets available for $10 each. The discount is advertised on the venue’s website and social media channels, encouraging early purchase before the promotion expires.
What to Expect on the Property
Even if you choose not to enter the maze, the farm’s grounds are decorated with a variety of props and set pieces that can be seen from the road. Large, spooky silhouettes, faux gravestones and themed signage create a festive atmosphere for passing motorists and set the tone for the evening’s scares.
Because the attraction is located on a working hemp farm, visitors are reminded to stay on designated pathways and respect the agricultural operations. The farm’s owners emphasize that the event is a family‑oriented celebration of the season, blending local tradition with a unique cannabis‑farm backdrop.
Practical Details
Fright at the Farm operates only on Fridays and Saturdays throughout October, with the Theatrical portion running from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. and the Blackout portion from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. Parking is available on‑site, and the venue advises guests to arrive early, especially if they plan to attend the Blackout experience, as space is limited.
For families looking for a Halloween outing that balances scares with a safe, controlled environment, Fright at the Farm provides a locally owned alternative to larger commercial haunted houses. The combination of themed lighting, interactive glow sticks and a candle‑lit blackout walk offers something for a range of ages and thrill tolerances.
Tickets can be purchased online through the attraction’s official website or at the gate, subject to availability. With the current half‑price promotion, the event presents an affordable way for Zumbrota and Rochester residents to celebrate the season while supporting a local business that blends agriculture, entertainment and community spirit.
