Los Angeles Haunted Hayride
Haunted attraction · Los Angeles · California
Griffith Park's abandoned Old Zoo becomes the town of Midnight Falls each fall, with a tractor-pulled hayride through the ruins at its center and mazes, a seance theatre, a scary-go-round and zombie gellyball ringing the town square. Past seasons added celebrity-designed mazes.
