SUMMARY:Haunted Tractor Rides
DESCRIPTION:Something has been spotted in the orchard after dark… 👀🌙 \nRed eyes flicker between the rows. Shadows move where nothing should be moving. Strange sounds follow Bessie’s trailer\, where ghostly spirits\, massive spiders\, and things far worse may be waiting in the dark. \nWhen the calendar turns to October\, the orchard gets a little darker. Haunted Tractor Rides begin October 1st. \nThis year’s ride is not for the faint of heart. Each ride lasts approximately 30-35 minutes and carries brave riders through eerie orchard trails\, chilling scenes\, and the kind of shadows that make you wonder who\, or what\, is riding beside you. 👻 \nRecommended for ages 7+. If you’re looking for a gentler experience\, the 7pm ride each night is an all-ages version for families who want the Halloween magic without the nightmares. \nTickets are limited by time slot\, and these rides are known to sell fast. Choose your night\, gather your group\, and book before the tractor leaves without you. \n📅 Thu\, Fri & Sat nights in October\n⏰ Ride times: 7pm\, 8pm\, or 9pm\n🎟️ $20 per person\, online only\n👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Ages 7+ recommended\, 7pm rides are all-ages friendly
