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:

  • Add on to Circle of Ash: $10.00 (with purchase of Circle of Ash GA or fast pass ticket)
  • Adult Hallowed Harvest Only: $20.00 each
  • 12 and Under Hallowed Harvest Only:  $18.00 each
  • V.I.P. Tickets include admission to Hallowed Harvest

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:

  • Want to lord your fast pass over our other victims/patrons still waiting in line
  • Did not/probably won't dress for the weather
  • Don't like lines
  • Want to attend multiple haunted houses in the area in one night
  • Want to impress your date

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:

  • Exclusive access to our themed VIP Lounge with a private fire table for your group
  • Free entry to Hallowed Harvest
  • 5 Minutes of Axe Throwing with Off the Handle
  • 15% off Merch & Concessions
  • Free Keepsake Wristband

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.

During the October season:

The Ticket Booth, Merchandise Counter, Concession Stand, Off the Handle Axe Throwing and Hallowed Harvest will open 30 minutes prior to the posted opening time.

Online ticket sales will end 1 hour prior to closing.

In-person ticket sales will end 30 minutes prior to closing.

Our attractions offer a thrilling experience with a PG-13 rating, featuring mild blood and gore. We will keep you on the edge of your seat without crossing into horror too intense for young thrill seekers.

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.

Passes are available at the gate, and at our merch counter. Space may be limited on some nights.

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.

NO! And if we ask you return the favor. We do not touch customers and we ask that customers refrain from touching us or our props. We understand that accidents do happen, obvious violations of this rule may result in being removed from the attraction or even the end of your evening with us.

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. 

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.

Sorry, we cannot stop the show and look for your lost item.  Our staff are always on the lookout for lost items, and when found they will be brought to the merch booth.

If you have lost an item please see the merchandise counter for assistance. If you have already left the premises, please reach out to us via text at 319.540.3327 to report the lost item and to schedule a pick up time.

Media inquiries can be sent to [email protected].  Please note that the vast majority of our advertising decisions are made a full year in advance, however in-kind trades or sponsorships are considered year-round.  Special appearances or requests to use our sets and scenes should be made with at least 10 business days of notice.
