Yakima Halloween Guide: Top Haunted Events And Family Fun

Summer seemingly flew by and it is already October 11, meaning Halloween is only in 20 days! Yikes. Here are 4 events to make your Halloween worthwhile!

News Talk KIT

Madd Hatter’s Haunted House

At 208 Ahtanum Rd in Union Gap, Madd Hatter’s Haunted House has been operating for 20 years!

Serving as a non-profit, this year’s theme is “Davy’s Locker”. Participants are sailing on a haunted pirate ship and end up exploring a sinister castle. Admission is $15 for one and $28 for two, although VIP fast access goes for $20 for one and $38 for two.

Union Gap Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch

After dark at 7:00 PM Halloween night at 3213 S Tacoma St in Union Gap, the Union Gap corn maze will become “haunted”. Zombies, skeletons, and chainsaw murderers will lurk in the corn ready to jump-scare you as you try and find your way out of the 12-acre maze. Admission is $15 for ages 3 and up and free for under 2, although I do not recommend toddlers attending!

Yakima Ave. Trick-Or-Treat

Arguably the most iconic Yakima event, Yakima police traditionally implemented traffic restrictions or road closures on Yakima Ave from 18th Ave to 32nd Ave to protect thousands of trick-or-treaters, although this year there will be no such restrictions. In fact, the whole Barge-Chestnut district is usually filled with trick-or-treaters, making it a go-to tradition for Halloween fans!

Steve Hahn Auto Group Trunk-Or-Treat

For the little ones, Steve Hahn’s Auto Group at 1730 S 1st St is holding a trunk-or-treat from 4:00 to 7:00 PM Halloween night! The event is free for everyone and features decorated vehicles, haunted houses, live music, local food vendors, and costume contests for both young kids and dogs!
