Dark Woods Haunted Attraction® original outdoor haunt returns for 2022 with Ashes to Ashes!

After suffering a devastating fire in winter 2020, Dark Woods® returns from the ashes of flames and despair. Cursed by the Old Ones to suffer the smoldering sting of death and destruction or reborn to rise and reignite fear? The smoke and wreckage has cleared and the Dead Hand Society has conjured another tear in the veil. Fear will rise from the ashes!

"The Last Scream You Hear, May Be Your Own!"®

New in 2022 - "Buried Alive!" Burial Simulator Ride. A VR experience that will leave you begging for more! A fun, theatrical experience that uses dramatic sound, scents and movement that puts you in the center of the story as you are buried alive! Add this new attraction to your ticket for just $5!

You’ve never seen Dark Woods® like this! New sets, scenes and characters join the expanded trail this year in an immersive, themed experience with character actors, detailed costuming, realistic sets and Hollywood-style special effects.

If you came out for the 2021 Season and think you’ve seen it all, think again. Each season offers new chills and thrills, making the experience unique every time you enter the woods.

  • Email Verified ABOOOOIOOOOOOOSOLUTELY FUN!

    We had a phenomenal time. We've gone a few times and invited other couples and families. The fast pass is the best way to go!!! There is so much talent in these woods. It's a great, safe and clean atmosphere!!!! We look forward to it every year! We hope they start doing something in September to prep us for October!!!!!!!!!!!!! We're returning in a few weeks.

  • Email Verified Best Scare Anywhere

    The park lines went quick and the scares were great. My daughter and her friend were screaming the whole time so you know we got our moneys worth. The quality of the monsters / scares were some of the best I've seen. Park is spread out so you're never feeling like you're in a crowded area even though lots o' people were there. Concessions were top notch and yummy too!

  • Email Verified Awesome Halloween Fun

    Great haunted theme park throughout! Super long trail full of scares and lots to see. I won’t ruin the surprises we saw. The 3D show has you winding through lots of scares and twists and turns. You feel you’ll never get out! Lol The roaming characters are plentiful and very engaging. Lots of food options and great merch to buy. Also be sure to check out their new casket ride. That’s all I am gonna say about that. Totally worth the extra few bucks. We’ll be back next season!

  • BEST HAUNTED ATTRACTION I HAVE BEEN TO

    It was and absolutely amazing experience. I highly recommend this place. It was terrifying and enjoyable all at the same time. There is so much detail in the haunting environment and the haunted cast! They change it up every year so it’s always different and improving. Couldn’t recommend it enough!

  • Email Verified Dark Woods: Name Says it All

    I have now visited the attraction in Natchitoches three times: 2016, 2017, and this year. The inside carnival is great (lots of unexpected jumps!) but outside in the “Dark Woods” is where it’s at. I always enjoy myself. Easy to find, super friendly and helpful staff, and lots of scares!

  • Kept you entertained even while in line

    Have been ever year since it opened. Has changed ever year. Not like regular scare parks where it's the same old thing every year.
