Haunted Trail Asheville

Asheville -- The Adventure Center of Asheville is excited to host the 12th annual Haunted Trail presented by 

Mellow Mushroom, Asheville’s only family-friendly haunt! The Haunted Trail is created and brought to life by Asheville Plays. This event is ideal for Halloween lovers of all ages, however, kids age 3-12 is the suggested age range. This is the 5th year that the Adventure Center has hosted this event which is a one-of-a-kind live outdoor theatrical experience where guests are promised an entirely immersive and interactive spooky night out. Every year the show is loved by boils and ghouls from all over WNC and we hope to see you there! 

The Haunted Trail

The Haunted Trail is 18 live-action outdoor scenes with magical lights and spooky sounds portraying renditions of classic Halloween themes. It is a one-of-a-kind live theatrical experience on an outdoor trail without contact or gore. Geared towards families with kids ages 3-12, visit the Alien Landing, Creepy Circus, and Haunted Pumpkin Patch which are all a part of the trail. 

For your little ghouls, The ‘Sweet Peek Tour’ is offered nightly at 6:30 pm. This is a guided tour for younger guests who still aren’t sure about being scared, even for fun. The trail is actor free at this time and they can decide if they would like to re-enter the line and receive the full show. 

Play while you wait! The line to enter the Haunted Trail surrounds the game field. Kids can pop out of line to participate in contests and play Asheville Plays Monster-Sized Games.

The Treetops Adventure Park Aerial Glow Trail is also available for guests 4 years or older! Climb on two of our aerial trails while they are illuminated with thousands of colorful twinkle and laser lights.  Please review the Glow Trail Section below for age requirements and adult escorts.
