A dual-mode fall venue offering separate daytime family hours and after-dark haunted attractions on the same property, built around a 3-acre corn field — ideal if you want both a daytime pumpkin outing and evening thrills without two separate trips.
Field of Screams operates a split-personality model that few regional farms do: it is a family-friendly daytime venue on certain evenings and a full haunted attraction on others. The property is built around a 3-acre corn field with 10-foot-high corn, and there is a separate 1-acre mini maze for daytime use. For families, the key constraint is that daytime activities only happen on three specific evenings (October 14, 21, and 28, from 6 to 8 p.m.). For couples or older teens, evening hours offer a full haunted-house experience with walking zombies.
Zombie-Free hours on October 14, 21, and 28, from 6 to 8 p.m., are the only times the farm offers daytime-style family activities. These nights feature wagon rides, hay bales to climb on, and slides on the PlaHAY Ground — fall-festival fun without the scare factor. If you want to bring young children to this farm, you must choose one of those three dates.
Regular evening hours (Wed–Thu dusk to 9 p.m., Fri–Sat dusk to 10 p.m.) feature the farm’s full haunted attraction. The corn maze becomes a haunted maze with walking zombies, and the atmosphere shifts to horror-themed. This is not a costume-in-a-dark-field situation — it is intended as a legitimate scare experience for adults and teenagers.
The 1-acre mini maze operates independently from the main haunted attraction, which means you could theoretically do a daytime family visit on a Zombie-Free night using the mini maze without encountering anything spooky. On regular evenings, the mini maze should be less intense than the main haunted maze if you want to gauge risk.
The nearby MissoulaMaze closed in recent years, leaving a gap for Missoula-area residents seeking corn-maze activities. Field of Screams, about 30 minutes south, has become the primary regional option — useful information if you are coming from Missoula and want to know whether this is your main choice or whether other options exist (it is the main choice locally).
The farm sells pumpkins on-site but does not operate a traditional you-pick pumpkin patch. If pumpkin picking is essential to your visit, this is not the right farm.
If daytime family fun is your goal, book one of the three Zombie-Free evenings (Oct 14, 21, 28, 6–8 p.m.). If you want the haunted experience, any evening outside those three dates works, but Friday and Saturday will be busier than weekdays.
Open September 27 to October 26, 2026, daily. Daytime 'Zombie-Free' hours are 6 to 8 p.m. on select evenings (October 14, 21, and 28). Regular evening hours are Wednesday and Thursday dusk to 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday dusk to 10 p.m. For a daytime family visit, you must book on a Zombie-Free night (Oct 14, 21, or 28, 6–8 p.m.). For after-dark haunted experience, any evening works.
Two to three hours for daytime family activities. Two to four hours for the haunted evening experience, depending on crowd size and your tolerance for scares.
Daily operations over a month-long season spread demand across weekdays and weekends. Zombie-Free evenings (Oct 14, 21, 28, 6–8 p.m.) will draw families. Regular evenings will draw adult crowds seeking the haunted experience.

You need daytime hours on a regular weekend day. The PlaHAY Ground and family activities only operate on the three specific Zombie-Free evenings (Oct 14, 21, 28). Regular day hours are not available. Skip it also if you want a traditional pumpkin patch — this is primarily a corn maze and haunted attraction with pumpkin sales.
Daytime family hours are available only on three specific evenings: October 14, 21, and 28, from 6 to 8 p.m. These are Zombie-Free hours featuring wagon rides, hay bales, and slides on the PlaHAY Ground. Outside those nights, the farm operates as an evening/haunted attraction only (dusk to 9 or 10 p.m.).
Zombie-Free hours (Oct 14, 21, 28, 6–8 p.m.) feature daytime-style activities like wagon rides and slides without zombies or scary encounters. Regular evening hours feature a haunted corn maze, walking zombies, and a full horror-themed experience. Choose based on what your family wants.
The farm operates both a mini corn maze (1 acre, separate from the haunted area) and a main haunted maze in a 3-acre corn field. Daytime family hours feature wagon rides, hay bales and slides on the PlaHAY Ground. Regular evening hours include the haunted experience. Pumpkins are sold on-site.

We track 11 patches in Montana, 1 of which are free to walk into. The farm has not published a gate price, so it cannot be compared on cost — call before you budget.
Its season runs about 30 days against a regional average of 39, so it is a shorter window than most of its neighbours — miss it and the nearest alternatives will still be open.
What sets it apart locally: it has an after-dark attraction, which most Montana patches on our list do not.
