Wander in Terror at the Desert of Maine
6 nights of haunted night time walks at the iconic Maine attraction, the Desert of Maine.
Wander in Terror: 6 Nights of Halloween at the Desert of Maine
Wander in Terror turns 20 acres of glacial sand dunes and a 1800s farmhouse into a haunted trail after sunset. Come see what's lurking in the forest at night. If you're into spooky Halloween events, haunted walks, or looking for something different to do this Halloween season in Freeport, Maine, this is for you.
What to expect:
• A haunted night walk through the dunes and forest, reimagined after dark
• A new nightmare waiting around every turn along the trail
• The historic farmhouse, lit up and transformed for six nights only
• A different kind of Halloween attraction: no crowds of a big-city haunted house, just the dunes, the dark, and whatever's out there

Reviews
We drove 2 hours to go here, worth the drive! Lots of spooky fun and quality acting from the crew. I had a lot of fun cracking jokes with the ghosts since no one in my group wanted to talk. Please keep doing this :) Happy Halloween!!

The 14+ age limit is just a recommendation, took my 10 year old son and had the best experience. There were a few scares that made us jump, it’s a really fun walk & the actors do an awesome job!
We got hot cocoa and played mini golf after, made for a fun filled night. The staff is incredibly friendly & accommodating.

Admittedly I had high expectations going in... the walk was nice albeit difficult in the darker areas.
The scare actors did a good job. There should have been more of them.
The stories at each stop were good... a couple extra scare actors would have enhanced the experience.
The witch's maze at the end was definitely the highlight. Again a couple more scare actors popping out would have really enhanced that as well.
Our group was unaware we were at the end of the tour... i would suggest something else there.
Overall I had a good time and it was a fun experience.
