Haunted attractionFall festivalField of Fear Haunted House is ranked #1 on this list, located at 3462 2900 S St, West Haven, UT, 84401. It carries a 5.0-out-of-5 rating on Google from 98 reviews, which puts it among the more established pumpkin patches we track near West Haven. Beyond the pumpkin field itself, it's tagged for haunted attraction and fall festival, so there's usually more to a visit than just picking a pumpkin and heading home.
Google hasn't surfaced a set of recurring review themes for Field of Fear Haunted House yet, so there isn't a themed summary of what visitors say to pass along here — the star rating and review count above remain the clearest public signal until more detail comes in. Field of Fear Haunted House is one of the farms we track with a haunted attraction, which typically means farm haunts run in the evening, usually friday and saturday from late september, and they are ticketed separately from daytime admission almost everywhere. intensity varies far more than at a commercial haunted house: so…
Hours aren't listed for Field of Fear Haunted House in our data. Most pumpkin patches run daily or weekends-only from mid-September through the first days of November, but the surest way to know is to call ahead or check the farm's website before you drive out. Admission pricing isn't listed for Field of Fear Haunted House either — pumpkin patches generally charge one of three ways (free entry with pumpkins priced individually or by weight, a flat gate admission bundling attractions, or a per-attraction wristband system), so it's worth asking which applies here before you go. It accepts credit cards and debit cards, though it's still smart to carry some cash — field admission and wagon rides at farms like this are sometimes handled separately from the main store.
Like most working farms, the exact open and close dates for Field of Fear Haunted House can shift year to year with weather and how the pumpkin crop comes in, even though the general window is fairly predictable. If you're planning a special trip, a weekday morning is consistently the quietest time to go, with shorter waits for wagon rides and easier parking than a weekend afternoon. Wear shoes you don't mind getting muddy — pumpkin fields are working farmland rather than paved lots, and they get soft fast after rain — and call ahead if it's rained heavily in the last day or two, since field access and hayrides are usually the first things a farm closes when the ground is saturated. Layers help too: fall mornings can start cold and warm up quickly once the sun is over an open field.
Field of Fear Haunted House sits, near West Haven, UT, with parking typically in a grass field rather than a paved lot — allow a few extra minutes on busy weekends for staff or volunteers to direct traffic, and if you're navigating by GPS rather than the link on this page, search the farm name directly rather than just the street address, since rural addresses sometimes route to the wrong gate.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best pumpkin patch fall festival in Utah?
Based on rating and review volume, Field of Fear Haunted House ranks first among the pumpkin patch fall festivals we track in Utah, with a 5.0-out-of-5 rating. See the full breakdown above, or its full listing for hours and directions.
What actually happens at a pumpkin patch fall festival?
A festival weekend is the farm running at full capacity — every attraction open at once, food vendors on site, live music, and frequently a craft or produce market, on top of the regular pumpkin patch. It's the best day to visit for the complete experience, and the busiest day to visit if you'd rather have a quiet field and a short line.
Do fall festivals cost extra?
Sometimes. Festival weekends are the days a farm is most likely to charge a higher gate price or require advance tickets, since every attraction is running. Confirm current pricing directly with the farm — it's not a field we track, and it changes year to year more than regular admission does.
When are fall festival weekends usually held?
Typically a handful of specific weekends in the back half of the season, rather than the whole season — often concentrated in October. Exact dates vary farm to farm, so check the listing or the farm's own site directly before planning a trip around one.
Are these fall festivals good for young kids?
Generally yes — festival weekends bundle in the kid-oriented attractions a farm runs alongside everything else. Check the listings above for feature tags like a petting zoo or play area, and call ahead if you're planning specifically around a young child's attention span in a bigger crowd.
