The Forest of Fear is the largest and longest running outdoor haunted attraction in West Michigan. It is an interactive, outdoor, walk-through haunted event. You and your party will walk yourself though various scenes along a dimly lit path through the woods. You will never know when a monster or ghoul will suddenly appear out of the Forest to scare you!

The Forest of Fear is located at 8758 Patterson Road just south of 84th Street in Caledonia, just a short drive from Grand Rapids, MI. Just look for the lighted sign on the west side of Patterson Ave. See the Location and Directions for maps and directions.

Yes, we accept cash and credit cards.

To reduce your chance of a wait at the Forest of Fear we recommend the following: Visit the Forest of Fear earlier in the month of October, visit us on Thursday or Sunday instead of a Friday of Saturday, and arrive earlier in the evening. We open at dusk.

The Forest of Fear offers VIP passes during out busiest nights. VIP passes can be purchased onsite at the ticket office for $6. A VIP pass will expedite your admission into the Forest of Fear.

The forest has been running for 11 years!

The proceeds from the Forest of Fear support the projects that are run by the Kentwood Jaycees. The Kentwood Jaycees sponsor community projects throughout the year such as Holiday Charity Programs, Easter Egg Hunts, College Scholarship Programs and any other community events. Unlike other haunted events, no individual profits from the production of the Forest of Fear.

No, our actors will not touch you, and in return we ask that you not touch the actors. Although in a dark forest with narrow pathways, accidents are bound to happen, and we ask for your understanding if you are accidentally touched.

The Kentwood Jaycees produces the Forest of Fear. The Kentwood Jaycees are a non-profit organization for individuals ages 21-40. Our focus is to support leadership development and individual development though community service and other projects.

The Forest of Fear will try to remain open if at all possible; however since we are an outdoor attraction we may have to close during extreme weather condition of immediately following a large amount of rainfall. The Forest of Fear hotline 616-803-9750 will be updated with any applicable cancellation information. Please be sure to call and check this hotline if the weather is questionable or immediately following a rainstorm.

We have many families with younger children who enjoy visiting the Forest of Fear each year and we do not have any age restrictions. However, the Forest of Fear is not designed for small children and we do have the occasional youngster who does not want to continue through this attraction. We do not offer refunds for any customers who are too frightened to enjoy the entire attraction.

Group rates are not available for the 2011 season.

Yes! The Forest of Fear is always looking for new actors and support volunteers. To volunteer you must be 18 or older. If interested, please contact us a forestoffear@kwjaycees.org.
