All Aboard! Friendly Hayrides at Northern Illinois Fear Fest

Halloween can be a spooky time of year for kids and adults.  Sometimes it's hard to find fun events that aren't extremely terrifying, but there's one you might love in Illinois!

I've never been a huge fan of haunted houses, haunted corn mazes, or anything involves me running away screaming for my life.  I wish there were more of these spooky kid-friendly events when I was a kid!

All aboard the friendly hayrides over at Northern Illinois Fear Fest!

On October 20th from 3-5pm, you can hop on a kid-friendly hayride at the Northern Illinois Fear Fest.  Trust me, there are so scares and no actors.

It'll be daylight when you're on the hayride so no worries on getting scared!

Not only will there be a haunted hayride, but you can also check out the haunted barn and creepy carnival.  This is perfect for all ages - it's only $5 to get in, plus kids five and under are free.

Located at 6512 Manchester Road in South Beloit.

Maybe you're not into anything haunted but want to experience the spooky season in a cool way. There are plenty of events to attend!

Jack O' Lantern World in Lake Zurich will have thousands of hand-carved pumpkins to walk through.  Hands down one of the coolest pop-ups I've ever seen!

Wrigleyville also opened their first ever pumpkin patch and beer garden. They even have a pumpkin smashing station.  Get all your energy out at all of these fall events.
