The leaves are crunchy, the nights are getting dark earlier, and we are in full Halloween mode. We’ve been fans of Glen Ray’s Corn Maze in Spanish Fork for years, and this fall we headed back after dark to see how the Field of Fright has grown. Let me tell you, this place does not play around.
Glen Ray’s is the kind of fall attraction that truly has something for every member of the family. By day, it’s a charming, family-owned farm with a (non-haunted!) corn maze, pumpkins, games, and plenty of photo-worthy fall backdrops. It’s the perfect place to wear out your little goblins while you sip something warm and pretend you’re not already planning your Halloween candy raid.
Then the sun goes down, and the farm becomes something else entirely.
I’ll be honest: I expected a fun, jump-scare-and-giggle kind of haunted maze. What we got was surprisingly intense and incredibly immersive.
The Field of Fright is a separate haunted attraction from the family corn maze, and you can feel the difference the second you step in. You’re not just walking through a cornfield. You’re winding through a real, pitch-dark cornfield and into an abandoned farm town, where the butcher, the woodcutter, and the restless souls of the farm are waiting for you. The story pulls you in, and the scenes are packed with authentic props and details that make you feel like you’ve wandered into someone else’s nightmare.
The live actors are the real stars. They are good. They know exactly when to appear and exactly when to let the silence do the work. Add in the fog, the loud noises, the uneven ground under your feet, and a path where you truly can’t predict the next turn, and you’ve got a haunted attraction that had my heart pounding the entire way through. I laughed, I screamed, and I may or may not have grabbed the nearest arm that wasn’t mine.
If you’ve visited in past years, you’ll appreciate how much the Field of Fright has evolved. It rivals any haunted attraction in Utah County, and the Glen Ray’s team clearly loves what they do.
A few things that will make your night smoother:
- Tickets are timed and must be purchased online. Your reserved time is when you can get in line for the haunted maze, so it isn’t a guaranteed walk-in time. Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes early to park and enjoy the farm attractions first.
- Pricing: Weekday tickets are $24.95 and weekend tickets are $27.95, and each includes Glen Ray’s general admission plus one trip through the Field of Fright. Don’t forget your MOMMYAVENGER code for discounts!
- Age recommendation: The Field of Fright is recommended for ages 12 and up. It’s dark, loud, and intense, so parents should use their own judgment.
- What to wear: Closed-toe shoes and warm layers. It’s a real farm with uneven terrain, and Utah October nights get chilly.
Fall goes by so fast, and the haunted corn maze won’t be around forever. The Field of Fright is open Dark to 11 PM on most Fridays and Saturdays, with special weeknights on October 26–29 running Dark to 10 PM. Hours can change with the weather, so check their website for the latest details before you go.
This was a great haunted attraction to visit, and we highly recommend you go too before the season is over. Grab your bravest people, a warm jacket, and your discount code, and head to Spanish Fork for a night you’ll be talking about for weeks.
