Southern California’s original Haunted Hayride is located in Griffith Park. Guests ride aboard a tractor-pulled hay wagon through the woods of Griffith Park.
Haunted Hayride is a 25- a minute ride through different stages as you travel through the old zoo property. You pass by a creepy cemetery and an old haunted house. You climb off the wagon at the halfway point and walk through a maze, hiding creatures at every corner.

Back on the wagon, you pass by several more attractions. All the time, monsters and creatures are chasing the wagon. One warning: if you sit on the back or side of the wagon, you will likely be attacked. Monsters Goblins hide in shadows and jump and can jump on the wagon anytime.
After taking the Haunted Hayride, several other attractions exist: Purgatory Haunted Village, House of Shadows, and a Trick or Treat area. Purgatory is shrouded in fog and features the backward Scary-Go-Round, the house of mirrors, free psychic reading, souvenirs, and the Grubshack with food and drinks.
House of Shadows is a dark maze. The only lighting is strobe lights. This attraction is not for epileptic people. Monsters are hidden in every corner of this maze. There are no arrows to direct you, so you must find your way out of the labyrinth. The best thing to do is follow the group before you exit.
Griffith Park Haunted Hay Ride Trick or Treat Area. Here, you knock on doors opened by monsters who do their best to scare you. They also hand out a treat, a bag of chips, or a candy bar.
