Seven Cedars Farms presents "Nighttime Low Scare Hayride" (Rhode Island)


 
Our second "Nighttime Low Scare Hayride" will be running this Wednesday 10/18 and we'll only be open from 6:30-8pm this week.
 
These Wednesday nights do run differently than our normal operating nights on the weekend. You'll need to come on the weekend to get the full experience!
 
What these nights offer is a hayride throughout the woods with all the lights on but with NO actors to scare you.
 
These nights are meant to be a more calmer and relaxing hayride with only a little bit of a fright from our sets/props throughout the woods.
 
These nights are perfect for those who frighten easily, have sensory issues, and/or who are just looking for some Halloween fun during the week.
 
Tickets are $13 per person! Tickets are ONLY available online for these nights!
