Halloween can be tricky for families. Some kids love the chills and scares, while others want nothing to do with haunted houses or monsters jumping out at them. And let’s be honest, sometimes parents would rather skip the fright too. That’s why it feels like such a win to have a non scary Halloween option we can all enjoy together.

When Spooky Season Meets Family Friendly Fun

As parents, we all want our kids to feel included. Nothing stings quite like watching one child beg to go through the haunted trail while their sibling clings to you, terrified. That’s where Lil’ Grims Pumpkin Hayride at Reaper’s Revenge comes in. Instead of jump scares and spooky actors, this daytime hayride takes you on a magical ride through an enchanted forest.
