From Fall Fest to Fright Fest
For years, Sugar Ridge Family Farm has been home to Fall Fest—pumpkin picking, cider, and family fun in the crisp autumn air. But when the sun goes down this October, something new begins to stir in the fields.
We’re beyond excited to announce the debut of Scream Ridge, Northern Kentucky’s newest haunted attraction, opening October 3rd, 2025 in Walton, KY.
A Dream Years in the Making
Bringing a haunted attraction to the farm has always been part of our dream. Now, with the help of our entertainment partners at The Cincinnati Circus Company, that dream is becoming a reality.
In the daytime, you’ll still find everything you love about Fall Fest. But when evening falls, the farm transforms into a scream park filled with eerie lights, fog, and the kind of fun that keeps you screaming all the way home.
Three Haunted Attractions on the Farm
At Scream Ridge, you won’t just walk through one haunted house—you’ll explore four unique attractions spread across the farm:
Carnival of Screams – A circus that rolled into the field one night and never left. Expect twisted acts, warped mirrors, and clowns you won’t forget.
The Killing Field – A haunted cornfield path filled with fog, toppled barrels, and something crawling on all fours between the rows.
The Butcher’s Barn – The farm’s original steel barn, now a blood-soaked slaughterhouse where hooks swing, saws roar, and the land’s hunger is fed.
More Than Just Scares
We’re building a night out you’ll want to make a tradition. In addition to the haunted attractions, guests can enjoy:
- Scream Ridge Hayride – A spooky wagon ride through lantern-lit trails.
- Fire pits perfect for gathering with friends
- S’mores and fall treats
- Food and drink vendors
- Live entertainment throughout the night
