Adult-focused haunted attraction version of a corn maze with Bayou theme, evening-only (7-10 p.m.), priced high—but 2026 dates and pricing are not yet confirmed, so call ahead.
$35 per person (includes hay ride, maze, and Bayou attraction). Price increases to $40-$45 on peak nights.
Rough cost for a family of four: about $140.00 in admission alone at the posted starting rate, before pumpkins, food, parking or any add-on listed above. Most families end up well north of that once they are through the gate.
The most recent confirmed information about Scary Acres comes from a September 2025 article. Hours (7-10 p.m. Friday-Sunday, plus select Thursdays), pricing ($35 base, $40-45 peak nights), and season end date (through Nov 8, 2025) are from that source, not a 2026 confirmation.
Before making an October 2026 trip, call (401) 827-5000 to confirm the attraction is running, verify opening date, and get current pricing.
Scary Acres is the adult version of Confreda’s fall offerings—a haunted attraction (not a family pumpkin patch) featuring a corn maze, hayride, and Bayou-themed attraction, all experienced in the dark with spooky intent. This is different in tone and target from The MAiZE, the daytime/family festival version at the same location.
Evening-only hours (7-10 p.m.) mean it’s positioned as a night outing, not a midday family activity. The bundled pricing ($35-45 per person) is higher than most Rhode Island corn-maze-only venues, reflecting the theatrical experience.
There’s no itemized pricing here—you pay a single per-person rate that includes the hayride, maze, and Bayou attraction. Standard nights run $35; peak nights (described as higher-demand October weekends) jump to $40-45 per person.
For a couple, that’s $70-90 for an evening, which is meaningful money. For a group of four adults, it’s $140-180. Budget accordingly; this is not a budget-friendly activity.
Scary Acres explicitly targets adults and older teens, not families with young children. If you’re visiting with a mixed-age group, you’ll need to split: younger kids and families go to The MAiZE (daytime, separate operation), while adults do Scary Acres. Both operate at the same address, so coordination is feasible.
The appeal is the spooky, atmospheric experience—darkness, a maze design with scares in mind, themed props. If haunted attractions don’t appeal to you, this isn’t the right venue.
Peak-night pricing suggests that October weekends, especially closer to Halloween, run busier and more expensive. October Thursdays (select dates) may offer lower pricing and fewer crowds, if you have midweek flexibility.
The 2025 season ran through November 8; if 2026 follows the same pattern, late October is likely peak, and November visits run quieter and potentially cheaper (if off-peak pricing applies).
Hope is in the Providence region, west of central Rhode Island, near West Cranston. It’s not a coastal town, so there are no paired beach-town activities—this is a dedicated evening trip to a single attraction.
The Confreda facility operates both Scary Acres (evening/haunted) and The MAiZE (daytime/family) from the same address (2150 Scituate Avenue, Hope). If your group splits by interest, logistics are simple.
2026 dates, hours, pricing, and exact operational dates are not confirmed. The Bayou attraction is described in research notes but not detailed in terms of content or experience type. Call ahead to confirm what you’re committing to.
October weekends are standard for haunted attractions. Contact the farm (401) 827-5000 before October to confirm 2026 opening, dates, and pricing (2025 information shows through Nov 8).

Evening-only operation (7-10 p.m.) means a concentrated adult/older-teen crowd. Peak-night pricing ($40-45) suggests weekend October evenings are the busiest.
No details in record. Typical farm lot; evening parking conditions may differ from daytime.
Not specified in available records. Call (401) 827-5000 to inquire if accessibility accommodations are available for evening haunted attractions.

Hope sits in the Providence region, west of central Rhode Island. Scary Acres operates from the same facility as The MAiZE (daytime/family-friendly version, separate operation).
