Ridgewood Halloween Maze

The Ridgewood Halloween Maze WILL BE OPEN October 6th, 2025.

The maze will be open from 4pm to 9pm on weekdays and 1pm to 9pm on weekends.

The maze will not be open if it is raining.

The last entry tonight is 8:30pm so that you have time to get out… I mean… those of you that will get out at all!

There is reading in the maze so the best ages to visit the maze is from when you can read until while you can still walk.

Warning: After dark, the maze creatures may haunt the maze.

There are no facilities at the maze.

Take the Haunted Ridgewood Walking Tour

Fri Oct 10, 2025 – Fri Oct 24, 2025

Some Houses have Interesting Stories!

What secrets hide behind certain stately mansions in Ridgewood’s historic district? Visit the houses where some guests have never left and hear the history that marks them forever. Some houses have very interesting stories. End up at Ridgewood’s notorious haunted maze. Find your way through the maze’s one secret passage. Spooky attire is encouraged! Our trip into darkness will end at 8:00 pm. Sweet dreams are(n’t) made of this!

This is a FREE event.

Minors MUST be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian.

Spaces are limited. Don’t miss out.

Bring a flashlight – the sun will set just before our tour begins. *The walking path is along sidewalks; however, many are cracked, chipped, or raised. WATCH YOUR STEP!

No rain date: (if only a drizzle, we will stick to the plan; if it rains heavily, it’s a no-go.)

Get Fall Decor and Plants

Visit a local nursery, like Rohsler’s in Allendale to buy mums, pumpkins, and gourds to adorn your front stoop, go on a hayride, and pick out seasonal decoration! (Don’t forget the bulbs to plant NOW for spring flowers like tulips later!).

Go Pumpkin Picking

Go pumpkin picking! Local favorite Secor Farms has all you need for pumpkins and hayrides on a nice fall day. Bonus points if you then carve the pumpkin and roast the seeds! Abmas Farm also has a great hayride and barnyard, but requires reservations.

Pumpkin Picking
