Haunted houses near Lexington, what to know before you go

I wanted one page with the dates, prices, scare level and parking for the haunted houses around Lexington, read straight off each attraction's own site. They're sorted from the haunts that sell a pass to let the monsters grab you down to a farmhouse with no blood or guts. Where an owner hasn't published something yet, the card says so instead of guessing with last year's number. Eckert's Haunted Hayride ends October 17, so if that's the one you want, go soon.

Updated October 9, 2026

Ending soon
