Haunted house: Haunted Hunt Club Farm
Hunt Club Farm, 2388 London Bridge Road, turns into a “scream park” with special evening hours from Sept. 25 through Saturday, Oct. 31, the farm says. Four attractions share one ticket:
- Haunted Hayride
- Death Alley, a cemetery walk-through
- Forbidden Fields
- Village of the Dead
A general admission wristband is $40 and covers unlimited trips through all four for one night. A VIP fast pass, one front-of-line trip through each attraction, is $15 more, or $25 on Saturday nights. Groups of 20 or more pay $30 Sunday through Thursday and $35 on Friday, with reservations, and group rates are not offered on Saturdays. Ticket prices include parking and fees but not the City of Virginia Beach’s 10% admissions tax. Children 14 and under must be with a parent or responsible adult, and all sales are final.
The nightly calendar is posted as a graphic on the Haunted Hunt Club dates page; check it before you drive out. This is a scare attraction, not a children’s event.
