Tonight we visited the Fields of Fear at nearby Cox Farms. We had a great time at this spooky fall-fun entertainment site. The entrance tickets allows us to visit the three open sites.
Picking up your ticket pass, you are given a wristband to wear.
So, I want to blog a little bit about Fields of Fear and our experience.
However, I’m not going to give away too much information. I don’t want spoil the fun if you haven’t visited it yet. But I can tell you one thing for sure, there is something creepy around each bend.
Darkside Hayride
The first attraction we went on is a nighttime tractor ride. The friendly tractor driver keeps things moving along.
It was a dark, creepy ride and with an unknown destination. Suddenly, “Circus City,” appears and a host of hidden clowns are ready to entertain us with deadly-sounding screams, jumps and reaches into the wagon.
If you sit at the back of the wagon, be prepared for the clowns to chase after it and bang on the back. Fortunately, the wagon was able to outrun those sinister-looking clowns.
Is there a dark side to clowns? After our wagon trip, I’m thinking that might be true.
This is the start of the the Darkside Hayride tour.
The friendly tractor driver gives us a wave.
Cornightmare in Fields of Fear
Initially, walking through a dark corn field doesn’t seem odd for a farm activity.
However, with the addition of eerie sheds with sliding doors, scary-looking residents and screams it becomes a thing of nightmares.
The Forest: Back 40
I especially found the forest setting unsettling. At first, it appears to be only a nice candle lite stroll through the forest. However, soon we entering different places some with distorted lighting, thrills and narrow walkways. The winding forest path goes through odd places like a gory meat processing plant, a greenhouse with dead plants, etc. The entertainers working at the Cox Farms will lightly tap you or reach out for you, so be prepared to dodge them . . . if you can.
The spinning chain saws at the end of the entertainment are sure to scare you silly. With all good things, this ends my Fields of Fear farm tour.
Ending Notes on the Fields of Fear
The Fields of Fear are full of laughs, chills and also screams. The employees are both friendly and helpful if you get lost or need information.
No photographs are allowed in the actual attractions, since they probably don’t want camera flashes to ruin the fun.
It takes a lot creativity and imagination to come up with all the boos and scares this place offers. Is it Cox Farms or a Nightmare on Braddock Road? You decide.
Cox Farms’ Fields of Fear is a Great Place to visit and get into the “Halloween Spirit”.
Thank You to the nice lady at the ticket booth for allowing me to take certain photographs and to blog about their attractions.
