Providence, RI -- RHODE ISLAND’S PREMIERE HAUNTED CORN MAZE AND HAYRIDE Two attractions with 1 goal . . . to terrify you at every turn! 1st we'll travel by rickety wagon into the eerily dark and mysterious woods where zombies and bloodthirsty werewolves have been prowling for months. They’ve left a trail of horror behind them, craving human flesh. They wait, hiding in the dark shadows of the corn maze and they’re waiting for you! Evil lurks in the darkness as we desperately try to find our way out of the maze. All we have is light from the moon and our flashlight to guide us. We may enter Quarantine, but we won’t be safe from the evil creatures for long. Next is the Fun House of Fears, twisted terror like we've never seen! There’s nowhere to hide… nowhere to turn! If you weren’t afraid of the dark before, you will be now!
