Haunted houses

We found no haunted house in Wesley Chapel with 2026 dates posted when we checked. The closest thing is the Candy Crawl’s not-so-spooky obstacle course for younger children. If a haunted attraction posts dates, we will add it.

Pumpkin patches

Avalon Park’s Fall Fest has a pumpkin patch on Oct. 17. For a farm patch, families drive to Raprager Farms in Odessa or Sweetfields Farm in Masaryktown; hours are on our fall festivals and pumpkin patches page.
