Pumpkin Patch & Haunted House | Haunted Hayride at Autumn’s Gate Farm, WNY

Family Halloween tradition returns with trick-or-treating, an interactive hayride, make-your-own wands & The Unicorn Portal Show II finale! 🎃 Autumn’s Gate Halloween Celebration 2026Where Halloween Comes to Life After Dark Step into the Enchanted Forest at Autumn’s Gate this Halloween for an immersive evening of family fun, mystery, magic, and adventure. This year, Halloween Celebration moves into the evening hours, creating a richer world of glowing portals, lantern light, fog, projection effects, theatrical storytelling, and interactive challenges. Guests will rotate through three immersive experiences, then everyone reunites for a shared live finale, The Unicorn Portal Show II: Rise of the Hollow King. This year, you won’t just watch the story. You’ll become part of it. 🍬 Trick-or-Treat Trail Journey through the Enchanted Forest in costume as whimsical characters, creatures, and mysterious residents await with candy, clues, surprises, and pieces of the unfolding story. Your costume is more than part of the fun this year. Inside the story, it may be one of the things protecting you from the Veilborn. Expect traditional trick-or-treating blended with interactive storytelling, theatrical encounters, and family-friendly spooky atmosphere. 👻 Ghost Hunter Hayride Climb aboard the hay wagon and head into the darkened edges of Autumn’s Gate, where strange activity has begun spreading beyond the Portal. Work together to spot supernatural activity, follow clues, and uncover what may have escaped from the Veil. The Ghost Hunter Hayride combines interactive adventure, humor, mystery, and light spooky fun without turning into a haunted hayride. 🪄 Agatha’s Battle Wand Workshop Agatha has been warning everyone about the Portal for longer than anyone wanted to listen. Now she needs your help. Join Agatha’s Army, create your own handmade battle wand, weave your magic into it, and learn the spell you may need when you encounter the Veilborn. This interactive experience combines wand making, character performance, magical training, and plenty of Agatha’s unique personality. Your training has a purpose. Because once every group has completed its mission, everyone will reunite to face what waits beyond the Portal. 🦄 The Unicorn Portal Show II Rise of the Hollow King We Saved the Portal. We Saved Halloween. But Everything Has a Cost. The Portal stayed open. Halloween survived. But opening the doorway between worlds had consequences no one fully understood. Princess Jules has vanished beyond the Veil. Starlight returned without her. Agatha’s warnings suddenly seem far less foolish, and something on the other side has been growing stronger. For the first time, guests will not simply stand before the Portal. You will go through it. All three groups will reunite at the Nexus with Agatha and Starlight for the live finale. With the original Portal corrupted, Agatha must convince Starlight to open a new path into the Veil. Then guests will cross through the Portal with Agatha, enter the Hollow King’s realm, and face the consequences of the choice that saved Halloween. Expect projection, lighting, fog, practical effects, interactive magic, theatrical suspense, and a shared finale built around the next chapter of the Unicorn Portal story. Family Friendly, Just More Spooky This year’s story introduces a slightly darker tone and more mature themes, including consequences, sacrifice, corruption, difficult choices, and what happens when you get exactly what you wished for. But Autumn’s Gate Halloween Celebration is still not a haunted house. There are no jump scares, no gore, no graphic horror, and no actors chasing or intentionally terrorizing guests. The goal is more mystery, more atmosphere, more adventure, and more story while remaining appropriate for families and all ages. 📅 2026 Dates October 17, 18, 24 & 25 🎟 Tickets Each ticket includes the complete Halloween Celebration experience: Trick-or-Treat Trail Ghost Hunter Hayride Agatha’s Battle Wand Workshop The Unicorn Portal Show II: Rise of the Hollow King finale Capacity is limited so each group can remain interactive and immersive.

It is about imagination, courage, creativity, family, and stepping into a story together. This year’s story asks some bigger questions. What happens when you get exactly what you wished for? What if the person everyone thought was the villain was the one trying to warn you? What happens when innocence encounters something powerful enough to change it? And what are you willing to do to protect the magic you fought to save? Build your wand. Hunt the ghosts. Trick-or-treat through the forest. Enter the Veil. Face the Hollow King. The Portal opens after dark.
