The following are some of the most popular haunted attractions** in New Hampshire, based on our website traffic:
The Dark Woods Haunted Event at Trombly Gardens
150 North River Road, Milford, NH 03055
Summary:
The Dark Woods is a haunted Halloween event located at Trombly Gardens in Milford, New Hampshire. Open select evenings in September & October, The Dark Woods is a family-friendly haunted attraction that offers a uniquely creepy, interactive experience for families, couples, and Halloween enthusiasts of all ages. We consider The Dark Woods a 'Bootique Haunt', which means we classify ourselves as a haunted Halloween event that specializes primarily in the customer's experience. We provide a unique form of Halloween entertainment through personal interaction, conversation, improv, comedy, and ridiculousness. Where other haunts may be focused on heavy traffic and throughput, we purposely limit our ticket sales to provide a more intimate, highly uncomfortable show. The Dark Woods is open on select evenings in early September and throughout October. Trauma-free tours are available on select Sunday evenings. Experience a more hands-on experience of The Dark Woods on certain Thursday nights with The Darker Woods.
