Hallowed Harvest, presented by Circle of Ash, is a jack-o-lantern light show and attraction that is sure to captivate the whole family with its breathtaking display of artistry and craftsmanship. Spanning 1,200 feet, this immersive trail of glowing sculptures showcases thousands of hand-carved jack-o'-lanterns carved by talented artists from across the United States. Suitable for all ages, Hallowed Harvest combines festive Halloween spirit with awe-inspiring creativity, offering guests a unique and non-scary Halloween attraction.
Tickets are available online and in-person, and can be combined with Circle of Ash’s haunted attractions as an add-on, or purchased as a stand alone ticket. Hallowed Harvest generally opens 30 minutes prior to the posted opening time of Circle of Ash.
Prices:
A fast pass grants the purchaser entry to each of our three attractions using our VIP/Fast Pass Lines. It is good for ONE admission to each of our attractions. A pass should be purchased for each person in your party. The Fast Pass/VIP queue lines average a 5-10 minute wait.
A Fast Pass can be added to your general admission ticket on-site. If you decide to add the fast pass to your ticket when you arrive, please alert the ticket booth staff they can upgrade you on the spot.
If you are unsure if a fast pass will be necessary we suggest you wait until your arrival before purchasing the upgrade.
We suggest the fast pass if you:
A VIP Ticket is a lot like the Fast Pass, with one big caveat: unlimited re-entry. That's right, you will be able to skip the lines, and go through our three haunted attractions as many times as you can handle. We cut off re-entries 30 minutes prior to closing.
VIP's get treated like VIP's at CoA too, some added perks:
Tickets for the season will go on sale by September 1st. We may announce early-bird sales, watch our social media pages for more info.

All individuals between 13 and 15 must have an adult present to be admitted onto the grounds, that adult must remain on the grounds the entire time; however, they don't need to enter the attractions with the kids. An entry fee is not a requirement of a chaperone who is not accompanying teens into the attractions. We offer a $10.00 Chicken Coop pass granting the chaperone access to our VIP tent space. Passes are available at the gate, and at our merch counter. Space may be limited on some nights.
Kids 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult at all times while they are on the grounds, and must be accompanied in the attractions by someone at least 16 years or older.Â
Circle of Ash is primarily an outside attraction. While some of our attractions do include indoor spaces, 100% of our queue lines and most of the attractions square footage are outside.
Temperatures drop rapidly in the fall when the sun goes down, so please dress for the weather! We recommend wearing layers to stay warm. Additionally, we suggest you wear closed-toed shoes for safety and comfort. Comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing will ensure you have a fun and safe experience during your spooky adventure at CoA.

We do our very best to build attractions that are accessible to everyone, but please be aware of the following: We've made every effort to ensure that our attractions are accessible to everyone, including those in a wheelchair. With that being said, the attractions especially the outdoor portions can be EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to navigate without assistance or chairs not equipped with outdoor tires. We offer assistance to those wanting it during your visit, please speak with anyone at the ticket booth for accommodations.
Handicap accessible parking is available, please alert the gate attendant if you require an accessible parking space.

Our typical response to this question is: "It depends how fast you run." (Although, we really appreciate it when you don’t run, for safety sake) In all honesty, this is a terribly difficult question to answer. Since all of our attractions are self-guided walk through mazes, you're in control of how long it really takes.Â
If you have purchased a general admission ticket and come on a busy night, expect your time with us to be on the order of HOURS, not minutes. If you have places to be and other things to do on the night you attend, you can shorten your time with us by purchasing a Fast Pass or by attending CoA during the first week of October or on a Thursday or Sunday night.
In the event that you cannot make it through an attraction, inform any of the cast members that you would like to immediately exit the attraction. A staff member will assist you out of the attraction and back into the courtyard where you can wait for your friends and family.
