  • Night Time Questions
  • When is Roca Scary Farm open?
    Our Night Time activities will run every Friday and Saturday, Oct. 1-2, 8-9, 15-16, from 6:00pm-9:30pm. We will be open every night Oct. 22-30 from 6:00pm - 8:30pm. (Or until we reach capacity).
  • What time do guests have to leave?
    We stop selling tickets into the farm at 9:30.  We start asking people to leave once everyone has gone through the lines.  The actual time for that is hard to say and depends on how busy we are.  It could be as late as 11:00 or midnight.
  • Can the haunters touch me?
    It doesn't matter if you are pretty, ugly, or dead. They will not touch you so this means that you are not allowed to touch them. If everyone keeps their hands to themselves, you will get to go home with all your limbs intact.
  • Is there an age requirement for the night activities?
    Yes. The Psycho Path is not recommended for children under the age of 10, the hayride is fine for most kids. You should use your own discretion.
  • Is the Psycho Path scary?
    Now, let's think about this question. Would we put together a weak walk through the woods and give you a lame hayrack ride only to throw in Barney the Dinosaur or Snow White? We think not, so be ready to scream!!
  • How long is the Psycho Path and Hayride?
    People are usually here for about an hour to an hour and a half.
  • What do I get for my ticket?
    You get the scare of your life. Also, you will get the Psycho Path and the Haunted Hayride. There are 4 haunted houses to scare the wits out of you as well.
  • How long do I have to wait?
    The lines are the shortest at 7:00pm, the earlier you arrive the better.
  • Do you ever get sold out?
    Yes, if we reach our maximum capacity at 8:30 we reserve the right to close the front gate.
  • What should I wear?
    Clothes are a good choice. Remember, you are coming out to a farm that is not paved. So please leave those fine Italian shoes at home and wear boots or athletic shoes. Make sure they are closed toe shoes. It can get cold on October nights so wear sweatshirts, jackets, hats and gloves.
  • Can I leave my children there and come back later to pick them up?
    No. Anyone under the age of 16 needs to have a paid adult with them.
  • What happens if I lose my cell phone?
    We will not stop the show to look for a lost item. We make our rounds early the next morning and place all lost items at the Harvest Barn. You can call us the next morning and ask if we have found it.
  • What if it is raining?
    Bring an umbrella if it is drizzling. If it is a downpour, we would have to cancel due to the safety of our scarers and guests.
