Halloween Plans

We enjoy Fall/Halloween events during this time of the year. Some past activites we've done have included Pumpkin Farms, Stone Mountain's Pumpkin Festival, Six Flags Frightfest, Haunted Hayride at Red Top Mountain, and Vinson Mountain Volunteer Fire Dept.'s Haunted Trail.

This evening I was looking around a little bit for some ideas about things to do/visit this Fall and Christmas (I really want to visit Gatlinburg at Christmas; Tara mentioned they'd like to go to Rock City's Christmas Season that we went to a couple years ago). We'd also discussed that they'd like to visit a Haunted House of some sort.

Anyway, I ended up finding something pretty interesting: A Corn Maze/Haunted Event combo.

Corn Maze's are neat Fall/Harvest activities to do. We've gone to a few in the past.
This Corn Maze is in North Georgia at Lookout Mountain and is apparently owned/operated by the same group that had Rock City, Ruby Falls, etc. So you figure it's got to be good.



Then, once the sun goes down, the place turns into VooDoo Bayou; the Forest of Fear trail and a Ghost Ride.

Upon further investigation, I see they are offering an Eerie Express train ride to the Enchanted Maize/Voodoo Bayou.


For the price, you almost can't skip the train ride: The Maize by itself costs $9.00 a person; the VooDoo Bayou costs $15 for the Forest of Fear and $10 for the Ghost Ride, or a total of $20.00 combined.
If you buy a combo Enchanted Maize and Voodoo Bayou ticket, it only costs $25.00 per person.
If you take the Eerie Express train ride, you get the train ride and the admissions to the Enchanted Maze and Voodoo Bayou for $28.00 per person.

*On 2nd thought, maybe not as good a deal as it first appears. I've sent an email asking about it, but it appears the train doesn't leave until 6:00pm, and you don't arrive at the Enchanted Maize until 7:45pm. Which gets you to the VooDoo Bayou okay, but not really leaving time to explore and enjoy the Enchanted Maze part.
