Madd Hatters Haunt is a local Halloween attraction here in Yakima. It is a nonprofit business with attractions like food, games, entertainment, and a haunted house. This year marked their 20th anniversary. Barb Petrea, the owner, and her husband John started Madd Hatters in 2006. They started it as a fundraiser for their son’s baseball team to get to a tournament in New York, and they've hosted the seasonal attraction ever since. And even better, 100% of its proceeds go to local charities and organizations.
Madd Hatters Haunt offers many wonderful activities. The haunted house, of course, is their main attraction. It features incredible props, continuous rooms, eerie sounds, and actors sure to frighten you. You never know what is around each corner. That’s what makes the haunted house itself so exciting!
Along with the haunted house, you can indulge in food, gift shops, a dance floor, cornhole, and more! Even outside the haunted house, you will be thoroughly entertained. Not only are there scarers in the haunted house, but they are also roaming the grounds outside. While exploring the many activities, you may be chased by a man with a chainsaw or jump-scared by a jester!
Madd Hatters Haunt is an amazing and fun Halloween event that many people love and enjoy! So next year, if you want to be scared, make sure to check it out!
