Acadiana’s favorite not-so-scary Halloween party is where there is fun for the whole family. Chunk a pumpkin, build a Frankenstein, feed the monsters, watch a thrilling science show, get a little batty with art … just a few of the real “treats” that will have your ghouls and goblins howling for more.

Voted Louisiana’s #1 Haunted Trail. Clowns, masked maniacs with chainsaws, and zombies are just a few of the spooks you'll find in the woods. But Fright Trail is more than just a great place to get spooked; it's also the primary supporter of local non-profit, Literacy, Inc.
