5970 IN-121, Richmond, Indiana 47374. Free parking. Crossing guards. We’re easy to find — what happens inside is a different story.
We’re located on Indiana Route 121, just outside Richmond city center. The entrance is well-marked with signage during operating season. If you see the treeline lit up at night, you’re in the right place.
Forsaken Forest Haunt Fear FestParking is available directly across the street from the attraction entrance — and it’s completely free.
Crossing guards are stationed at the entrance to help guests cross safely from the parking lot to the gates. Look for the staff in vests near the road.
On busy nights (Friday, Saturday, Halloween weekend), the lot fills faster. We recommend arriving by 7:30 PM if you want to park close. Overflow directions will be posted on-site if the primary lot reaches capacity.
If you’re bringing a large group or a chartered bus, contact us in advance so we can advise on drop-off logistics and bus parking.
Group & Bus InquiriesTickets purchased through HauntPay can be shown on your phone at the gate — a screenshot works too. If you bought physical or printed tickets, bring those. Gate staff will scan on entry.
There are separate lines for General Admission and Fast Pass. Fast Pass holders get priority access and shorter wait times. Signs at the gate direct you to the correct line.
The midway area — food trucks, concessions, coffee, vendor booths, and merch — opens when the gates open and stays active until close. Arrive early to explore before you head into the forest.
If you’re driving in from Dayton, Cincinnati, or Indianapolis, here’s what’s available before or after your visit.
