Eerie Acres Farm sits at 386 Eagle Mill Rd. in Butler, PA, a 30-minute drive north of Pittsburgh. The 2026 season runs October 2 – October 31, 2026, Fridays & Saturdays 7–10 PM plus select Sundays. Here's everything to know before you get in the car.
Attendants direct you into on-site parking. From the lot, head to the Ticket Booth: Fast Pass holders walk straight to the haunt line; online ticket holders grab a wristband and roam the Midway until their group is called; everyone else buys at the booth.
On busy nights the wait can be long. That's why the wristband system exists: you wait on the Midway with a beer and a bonfire, not in a line. See the three arrival lanes →

Real shoes
The cornfield is uneven farm ground and sometimes wet. Closed toes, no heels.
Layers
October nights in Butler County drop fast. The bonfire helps; a jacket helps more.
Phone charged
Tickets are digital and scan from your screen. A dead battery is scarier than the maze.
Arrive early on Saturdays
Peak nights are busy. Gates at 7 PM. Early arrivals get the shortest lines and the best bonfire seats.
Eerie Acres Farm is a physically demanding haunted house, and we reserve the right to refuse admission. The short version: don't touch, don't smoke, don't sneak drinks in, and don't be the reason a rule exists.

Where is Eerie Acres Farm located?
386 Eagle Mill Rd., Butler, PA 16001, in the countryside just outside Butler and about 30 minutes north of Pittsburgh via I-79 or Route 8. Parking is on-site, with attendants directing you in.
When is Eerie Acres Farm open in 2026?
The 2026 season is penciled for October 2–31: every Friday and Saturday night from 7 to 10 PM, plus a No-Scare family Sunday on October 11 (12–5 PM) and an early Sunday night on October 18. The haunt itself opens at dusk.
Are you open rain or shine?
Yes, we usually stay open in the rain, so dress for the weather. If conditions ever become unsafe for guests and actors, we close and post the notice on our social pages, and your tickets are honored another night.
What should I wear?
Real shoes and weather-appropriate layers. The haunt is indoor and outdoor, the cornfield ground is uneven and sometimes wet, and October nights in Butler County get cold. Heels are a genuinely bad idea.
How long does the haunt take?
Plan on 30–45 minutes to get through the indoor haunt and cornfield. The range depends mostly on how quickly you solve the maze at the end. Add Midway time; most groups make a full evening of it.
Is there food and drink?
Every open night the free Midway hosts rotating local food trucks (burgers, pierogies, tacos, fair food, coffee) plus the Grain Bin beer garden pouring local craft beer and wine (21+, no outside alcohol). The lineup for each night is on the schedule page.
