The Rexburg Straw Maze and Haunted Forest Review (2026)

The Haunted Forest is a very unique haunt, as you basically walk about five minutes away from the main plaza and the straw maze to a patch of trees in the back of the property. The overall “forest” is quite small, but the haunt effectively weaves through the trees and the layout in a way that makes it last. Upon exiting the forest, there was a very bumpy walk alongside the river that took you to the final section of the haunt, a walk through a spooky corn maze.

Overall, the haunt is very atmospheric in the sense that you really feel like you’re out in the middle of nowhere, and the tall trees and quiet sounds of rustling leaves and moving water make for a really unique and edge-of-your-seat experience. There were a few sets and fun scenes in here, but they mostly consisted of tarps or very sparsely detailed shacks. The highlight of the set design here was definitely the clown scene in the corn maze portion, but overall, the Rexburg Haunted Forest’s greatest strengths lie in other areas.

The scares at the haunted forest can definitely vary. There are some solid jumps in the corn maze area and in the forest area, with the heavily wooded and overgrown nature of the walkthrough providing lots of great hiding spots. In between the scares, however, there can be a lot of dead spaces. At first, the dead spaces do a great job building tension, because you don’t know where the next scare will come from, but as the haunt goes on, it can get a little predictable.

The finale was particularly interesting. Instead of a loud chainsaw chasing you out, or a giant animatronic, you exit the haunted forest by boarding a bus that drives you back to the farm plaza. Not a particularly scary ending, but definitely a unique one.

At 20$, I would say the Haunted Forest ends up being overall worth the money. If you were to compare the price to other haunts in surrounding states, it would seem a little steep, but in eastern Idaho, where there isn’t a ton of competition in the greater Tetons area, it’s a pretty solid price of admission, especially for how long the haunt takes.

Overall, I would say the Haunted Forest would be a valid choice for a night out with friends or family who are looking for a more laid-back and easygoing haunt experience. We also timed it at a solid 30 minutes long, bringing the MPD to 1.5, which is above the national average of 1 that we see most often!
