In Ulster Park, you have the top-rated Headless Horseman Hayrides and Haunted
Attractions. This year's theme is The Darkest Offering, which will transport you to the fictional town of Crow Hollow where the villagers invite their guests to a unique celebration.

Spooky. The Headless Horseman Hayride opens on Friday, September 13th, 2024 and tickets are on sale now.

For 48 years, Kevin McCurdy's Haunted Mansion has been terrifying guests who visit the Dutchess County attraction. They're back for another year of scares, this year with some help from a haunted ventriloquist doll named Sammy at the Seville Theater.
