HUNTINGTON — The Greater Huntington Park & Recreation District has announced that the Fantasy Maze will be returning to Ritter Park in October.

“Since its debut in 2015, thousands of families have enjoyed an enchanted trip through the Fantasy Maze filled with classic storybook and cartoon characters,” the district said in a news release.

The attraction, which GHPRD bills as a “non-scary alternative to Halloween,” will take place at the park for the last two weekends in October (from 19-21 26-28) from 5-9 p.m. each day.

“Children are encouraged to wear their Halloween costumes and bring a candy bag because each character in the Fantasy Maze will be giving out sweet treats,” the district said.

Tickets are $5 per person and can be purchased at the event from 4:30-8:30 p.m. each evening. Concessions will be available courtesy of Marco’s Pizza, ScragglePop, and Lil Creamer Hawaiian Shaved Ice. Inflatables will also be set up at the park.

Parking will be available inside Ritter Park, with traffic entering on 8th Street, traveling east on the inner roadway, and exiting on 12th Street.

This event is sponsored by the Greater Huntington Park & Recreation District, with the help of the HART Choose Joy Players. For more information contact GHPRD Recreation Superintendent Stacey Leep at 304-696-5954 or sleep@ghprd.org.
