Come fall, Minnesota’s nights begin to come alive with the screams of frightened haunted house visitors. These visitors come from miles around to experience spooky creatures, eerie sets, and plenty of jump scares as they travel through the darkened houses, barns, and maze that hold the scares. There are plenty of spooky haunted houses to choose from in Minnesota, but there’s one in particular that we feel is underrated.

The Haunting Experience on Highway 61 is a unique haunted house in Cottage Grove, Minnesota. It's just a little bit further south than St. Paul.

From late September through October, the Haunting Experience draws visitors thanks to its two terrifying attractions filled with creepily costumed characters, gruesome scenes, and more. This place gets busy, but you'll never have to wait too long.
The first experience is a Hayride. In fact, it's the longest-running hayride in Minnesota. Guests will step aboard and be taken on a creepy tour across the property.
You'll pass under tunnels and alongside tall corn crawling with with creeps. You'll come face to face with costumed actors who will do their best to give you a fright.
The chilling adventure continues as you enter the haunted house itself. There is a scare waiting around every corner as you walk through darkened corridors.
Many of the actors are done up in gruesome, gory costumes. If there's one thing to be said about the Haunting Experience, it's that its actors go all out.
This underrated haunted house is $24 to enter if you buy your tickets online. You may also buy fast pass tickets for $32 online. The prices go up if you buy at the door.
