Hosted by the Woodridge Park District, this outdoor haunted experience invites guests to ride a hay-wagon into the woods, and walk among the ghosts, ghouls, and creatures that call the forest home each October. It’s a perfect blend of community spirit and spine-tingling fun.

It’s worth the short drive from anywhere in DuPage.
