Brown Ranch Hay Maze
October marks the reopening of Oklahoma’s largest hay maze! Ardmore’s Brown Ranch offers visitors an agri-adventure filled with over 20 kid-friendly activities like hayrides, a kids train, a “gold mine” made from corn kernels, a Chicken Chunk and much more! The maze itself is constructed from about 1.5 million pounds of hay and redesigned each year to give return visitors a fun, new challenge. The best part? Admission includes complimentary s’mores and a hot dog meal! The 17th annual season runs all through the month of October on Thursdays and Fridays from 5-9 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 2-9 p.m.

HALLOWFEST at Frontier City
Spirited fun and haunted experiences join forces with Frontier City’s daily rides and games through the end of the month. By day, trick-or-treating, mazes and live musical performances return to the park. But, as soon as the clock strikes 7 p.m., spine-tingling scare zones, masked creatures, fright trails and more are unleashed. The eerie fog and menacing music throughout the park create the perfect backdrop to riding coasters in the dead of night! Advance reservations are required so make yours today while you can.
