LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. — One of the spookiest attractions in South Central Pennsylvania is officially back open for the 2020 Halloween season.
The monsters and creatures of the night will still be out to scare, but things are going to look a little different at Field of Screams this year because of COVID-19.
The Haunted Hayride, Den of Darkness, Frightmare Asylum, and Nocturnal Wasteland are all open to guests with some new scary effects just added this year.
Owners and brothers, Jim and Gene Schopf said safety has always been a top priority for them. This year they are just increasing their efforts, by adding staff to strictly clean and sanitize, and following CDC guidelines.
You can still have fun and enjoy the Field of Scream experience while staying safe and following their COVID-19 safety measures.
The owners said there are a few things they want guests to be aware of before a night out at Field of Screams.
- REDUCED CAPACITY - Our capacity will be greatly reduced – in order to guarantee admittance, you will need to pre-purchase your tickets ahead of time and choose an arrival time slot. Many nights will sell out. If you arrive without a ticket and we are sold out, you will need to attend on a different night.
- MASK POLICY – All guest must wear a mask. We will perform temperature checks on all actors, crew members, and staff before they are permitted to go to their stations.
- SANITATION – We have placed no-touch hand sanitizers at multiple convenient locations on the property. We ask guests to maintain healthy practices such as washing hands regularly and using hand sanitizer.
- DISTANCING – An “every other queue line” policy will be in place to separate guests. On the hayride, groups will be on the same ride but socially distanced. In the Den, Asylum, and Nocturnal, guests will enter inside only with those in their own party. We will allow ample time and spacing before the next group enters.
- RISK – An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present.

The chilling and frightful experience at Field of Screams is happening every weekend through part of November. Tickets sell out fast, especially with reserved time slots and reduced capacity.
You can purchase tickets and find out more details regarding dates, times, and prices on their website.
