Experience the Thrills at The Bates Motel and Haunted Hayride

For over 35 years, The Bates Motel and Haunted Hayride in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, has been a cornerstone of Halloween entertainment, offering a trio of spine-chilling experiences that draw thrill-seekers from across the nation.

 

The Haunted Hayride is a 25-minute journey through the dense forests of Arasapha Farm, featuring massive, detailed sets and high-tech special effects. Riders encounter scenes like a 100-foot-long, 40-foot-tall drive-through insane asylum and a full-scale New England church, all enhanced with pyrotechnics that rival a rock concert.

 

Next, the Bates Motel itself offers an up-close and personal haunted house experience. With Hollywood-quality special effects, a digital soundtrack, and intricate lighting, visitors navigate through rooms filled with levitating spirits, moving portraits, and custom animatronic props. The realism is so intense that it's recommended for guests over the age of eight.

 

The third attraction, the Revenge of the Scarecrows Haunted Corn Trail, is a terrifying walk through a tall cornfield, featuring walk-through buildings, animatronic monsters, and over 30 actors in full makeup and custom costumes. High-tech animations and digital sound effects make this not for the faint of heart.

 

In addition to these main attractions, The Bates Motel offers mobile axe throwing, facilitated by a Double Edge Axe Coach to ensure safe and exciting participation for guests aged 12 and older.

 

Located just outside of Philadelphia, The Bates Motel and Haunted Hayride continues to be a must-visit destination for those seeking unparalleled Halloween thrills.
