Halloween in the Grove

The Halloween season is upon us, which means there are loads of fun activities for both the family to enjoy together and for those who dare to get spooked, scared, chilled and thrilled.

The Haunting Experience

Zywiec’s | Through Oct. 31

If you dare, experience a night filled with your darkest nightmares at The Haunting Experience, home to the longest-running haunted hayride in Minnesota. In operation for over 31 years, this legacy of terror will have you jumping out of your seat. After the hayride, head over to the famous haunted house, where you will encounter monsters, maniacs and creatures beyond your imagination.

Fall Fun Fest

Zywiec’s | Through Oct. 30 | 10 a.m.-3 p.m.

Halloween doesn’t always have to be about a spine-chilling experience. If you are looking for a family-friendly activity that is little less scary and more playful, try out Fall Fun Fest for some Halloween attractions that are perfect for kids. Activities include a lights-on, no-scare tour of the haunted house, pumpkin painting, hayrides and so much more!

Halloween Goat Yoga

The Hayloft | Oct. 22, 11 a.m.-12 p.m. | Oct. 29 10-11 a.m. & 11 a.m.-12 p.m.

A certified instructor teaches a beginner-friendly yoga class while adorable goats roam freely, play with one another, visit you, and if you’re lucky, hop on your back while you try to hold a yoga pose without laughing. Yoga is followed by a 15-minute goat cuddle sesh – a great time for photos! Don’t forget – the goats will be wearing costumes, and you should too! Children 12 and under are discounted on Oct. 22.

Skating Spooktacular

Then grab your wand (provided) for a magical yoga experience in the haunted hayloft! A certified instructor teaches a beginner-friendly yoga class while loveable goats roam freely, play with one another, visit you, and if you’re lucky, hop on your back. Yoga is followed by a 15-minute goat cuddle sesh – a great time for photos!
