Do you enjoy getting scared? Is Halloween your favorite time of year? If so, the area surrounding Butler, Pennsylvania, is a perfect location to visit, as you’ll find three haunted houses worth checking out. That is if you’re not too scared.
The Beacon Haunt
Situated on Beacon Road in Renfrew, The Beacon Haunt is on the grounds of The Beacon Hotel. Included with the Haunt are a 15-acre haunted corn maze and tractor rides to and from the haunted house. The first tractor ride leaves around dusk, while the last one leaves at around 10 p.m. When you’re not checking out the attractions, stay warm by the bonfire and enjoy some food from the concession stand.
It’s open Fridays and Saturdays throughout October with an admission price of $20 per person. There’s no age limit for those wanting to be scared, but it does offer No Scare Family Days from 1 to 4 p.m. on select dates. Tickets for this event are $10 for adults and kids over the age of 5, while it’s $5 for those 5 years and under. For the cost of admission to this special event, you can walk through the corn maze, pet animals at the petting zoo, and enjoy a pony ride.
Cheeseman Fright Farm
Found in Portersville off Kennedy Road, the Cheeseman Fright Farm is part of a 650-acre family farm. This haunted house has been in operation for more than a decade, and you can now join the haunted hayride, corn mazes, and numerous walkthrough attractions. The farm employs more than 100 actors to scare guests.
The haunted house is open for all ages, but children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Stop in Friday, Saturday, and Sunday throughout October with activities beginning at dark and lasting until 10 p.m. General admission tickets are $20, while the Fright Pass that lets you skip the general admission line is $50.
Eerie Acres Farm
The idea for this haunted house dates back about 20 years to a time when two families would throw Halloween parties in an old Victorian barn. They later converted the barn into a haunted house, eventually making children walk through it to get their Halloween candy. A decade later, they created the Eerie Acres Farm, and they work here year-round so they can operate the privately owned, family-run attraction.
Located on Eagle Mill Road, Eerie Acres Farm is an outdoor haunted house that takes about 20 to 40 minutes to complete. It allows people of all ages to enjoy the experience, although, be warned, you may be scared. There are food trucks, vendors, and a bonfire if children feel more comfortable hanging out there. It costs $15 for general admission or $25 for a fast pass that lets you skip the line, and the hours of operation are Friday and Saturday during October from 7 to 11 p.m., rain or shine.
If you’re someone who enjoys zombies jumping out at you from behind the corner or ghosts haunting you throughout a corn maze, these three Butler-area haunted houses are definitely must-visit places. Don’t wait too long though, because Halloween is almost here.
