This year's event features the Cowboy Adventure Park, a haunted hayride and an all-new haunted house, intertwined with a captivating original narrative:
“The mysterious legend of KICCO the clown has been passed down by generations of families. The story goes that a devious clown, a drifter painted as an outsider, was maimed by a bull while performing as a rodeo clown. Thrown into the woods and left to face an untimely and unfortunate fate, a mystical voodoo witch encountered KICCO and brought him back to life. While many years have passed, legend says his enraged spirit haunts the cryptic grounds surrounding River Ranch, and his terrifying presence will frighten away anyone who dares to enter his delightfully scary domain.”
For fearless souls, a haunted house beckons, luring guests to uncover its sinister mysteries. Navigate its twists and turns surrounded by phantoms, ghostly apparitions and the ever-menacing KICCO the clown. Post-house thrills await on the haunted hayride, where you'll delve deeper into KICCO's ominous story, braving the trails fraught with surprises and eerie encounters with restless spirits.
After experiencing the spooky attractions, guests can venture to the family-friendly Cowboy Adventure Park. Don your festive fall attire and capture unforgettable snapshots amidst the pumpkin patch and seasonal décor.
