Reapers Maze of Terror

Reapers Haunted Attraction and Maze of Terror at Chilliwack’s Fantasy Farms is one of the Lower Mainland’s most popular Halloween events in October.

In 2022 Reapers Maze of Terror ran on select dates in October. It was open on all Fridays and weekends, plus most weekdays after the first week of the month.

Note: Reapers is a serious haunted attraction! It’s really good, but not for the faint of heart. If you like haunted houses, you’ll love this place! For little kids and more timid folks, however, you’ll want to check out child-friendly Petey’s Pumpkin Patch instead (which takes place at the same farm during the day).

About the Halloween Attractions

Fantasy Farms‘ Halloween offering normally has two elements. The Maze of Terror and the Reapers Haunted Attraction (i.e. the haunted house). Both are great Halloween attractions that are worth trekking out to see! In 2020 and 2021, only the Maze of Terror was operating. That was the case again in 2022.

Reapers Maze of Terror is a fabulously frightening event. Because it’s outside and you can go through it with your own group, it’s a great Halloween event.

The Maze of Terror

The Maze of Terror at Fantasy Farms is a labyrinth in the dark. In past years it wasn’t a corn maze, like at some other places. Rather, it was an open-roofed structure with high walls, maze-like corridors and zero lighting. In 2018 and 2019, however, the Maze of Terror was a corn maze. In 2020, it was a wooden structure once again, but in 2021 it returned to a field of corn. The 2022 maze was in a corn field as well.

One of the main fear factors with the maze is the darkness. If you’re afraid of the dark then this truly is a “maze of terror.” There are a few scary decorations, and also lots of live actors in costume, which makes it terrifying.

We did Reapers Maze of Terror in October of 2021 and loved it! See further below for a video of what we saw. In the maze there are creatures hiding around every corner and they jump out at you from behind the stalks of corn. Expect to do some serious screaming!

Maze of Terror Video

Want an idea of what the Reapers Maze of Terror looked like in 2021? Then check out the video below.

We visited the attraction in early October in 2021. This video shows some of the scenes and characters that we saw. It was all wonderfully terrifying! As you’ll see, it was really dark in the maze. That alone was scary! What made it even better were all the monsters and creepy characters hiding behind every turn!

Reapers Haunted Attraction

In years when it does operate, Reapers Haunted Attraction is the haunted-house-style building at Fantasy Farms which people walk through in small groups and have fun getting scared in. In past years it was separate from the Maze of Terror. In 2021 there was no haunted house. There was just the maze. The haunted house didn’t run in 2022 either.

When we went to Reapers a few years ago the lineup for the haunted house part of the attraction took about 15 minutes, which wasn’t unreasonable. The attraction itself was big and took five or six minutes to go through, which for a haunted house is pretty good.

At the entrance to the haunted house, fright seekers were given 3D glasses. There hasn’t been a 3D element every year, but there have been most years more recently.

The 3D effects in the haunted house were pretty effective – they added a nice element and helped some of the more colourful elements inside come alive.

Another nice thing about the Reapers Haunted Attraction was the abundance of live actors. Many of the rooms seemed to have one, and most of the actors were really good. Some of the costumes and scenes were also quite impressive. In the haunted house a couple of the rooms were sometimes in near total darkness, which made it especially freaky.

In years when there was a haunted house element, Reapers Haunted Attraction was an exceptional Halloween place to visit and we understand why people come from far and wide to see it. In 2021, Reapers Maze of Terror was equally awesome and terrifying!

“I absolutely love Reapers! I try to go every year as it’s one of the best (if not the best) Halloween event.”
“This is in the top 3 best haunted houses I’ve ever been through from Disneyworld to Vegas!! I wish I was able to go through another 2-3 times in a row. Not kidding!”
“First time at Reapers tonight, must say it was amazing! Scared the crap out of me. Awesome time all around.”

Tips and Advice

Below are some tips to help you make the most of your visit to the Halloween attractions at Chilliwack’s Fantasy Farms.

TIP#1: If going on a non-rainy weekend or close to Halloween it’s a good idea to book your tickets in advance online. You can wait and pay at the door, but during the second half of October many nights end up selling out.

TIP#2: There is a fair bit of free onsite parking, although spaces are limited and you’re not allowed to park on the street. Carpool with friends if you can!

TIP#3: To avoid the biggest crowds, go on a weekday if possible, or get there by 6:30 pm on a weekend. We went on a Tuesday evening at around 7:00 pm the week before Halloween a few years ago and it was pretty busy, but not unreasonably so. Our first lineup was for the Reapers Haunted Attraction and it took just 15 minutes. Our next wait was for the Maze of Terror and it lasted about 20 minutes.

TIP#4: Dress warm and wear boots. It can get cold in October, especially while you’re standing in line (unless of course you’re with someone you can snuggle close to). Also, if it has rained recently (which it often does in October), the ground in the Maze of Terror can get muddy. It is a farm after all!

TIP#5: The maze is very dark, and you aren’t allowed to use a flashlight. That makes it especially frightening. Photography is also prohibited. There is a section in the maze where there are flashing lights. That’s good to know for people who have light sensitivities.

Petey’s Pumpkin Patch

In 2022 the pumpkin patch event at Fantasy Farms ran the entire month of October. It was open between 1:00 pm and 5:00 pm on weekdays and from 10:00 am until 5:00 pm on weekends and holidays.

Petey’s Pumpkin Patch and Family Fun Zone cost $12 per person or $40 for a family of four (plus $10 per additional child).

The daytime attraction includes train rides and adventures in a corn maze. There are also a number of farm animals to admire. Halloween pumpkins are usually on sale and cost between $2 and $25 depending on their size and variety. (These prices are the same as they have been in previous years, which is great.)

To learn more about this family-friendly event see the Petey’s Pumpkin Patch website.

More About Fantasy Farms

In a typical year, expect to stay at the Reapers’ Halloween Attraction for about an hour, but longer if it’s an especially busy day and less if it’s slow. In years when it happens, the haunted house takes around five to six minutes to go through. The maze, meanwhile, takes about 20 minutes. There are other displays and things to see too.

Other seasonal events at Fantasy Farms include the following:

Petey’s Easter Eggstravanganza – over the Easter weekend in the spring.
The Chilliwack Garlic Festival – in mid-September.
Petey’s Pumpkin Patch – throughout the month of October.
Petey’s Country Christmas – during the second half of December.

Of all the various annual events at the farm, Reapers is the largest and most famous. All the events are fun and interesting though in their own ways. See our article about Fantasy Farms for more details.
