welcome ffa members to the thirteenth hour
The Thirteenth Hour is one of the largest most detailed Haunted Events in the country; covering over 25 acres of fear. We have been rated a Top 13 Haunted House in the United States by Yelp, a 4.6/5 average rating on Google, and the Highest Rated Attraction in Indiana by The Scare Factor. The Thirteenth Hour is an immersive no-touch haunted attraction featuring five themed houses that are all chapters of one epic story.
We are excited to again offer free daytime tours for FFA groups who are attending our event. This tour takes a look behind the scenes at The Thirteenth Hour. See how we took a farm-like property and turned it into an Agrotainment venue. Tours are extremely limited and are preferred to take place on a date AFTER attending the event.

This haunted attraction experience has been my favorite of all time! This is my second year attending and will always recommend. The walk through decor is so cool and actors are amazing. I was definitely scared and had the absolute best time!

Amazing time! We take my niece to a haunted house every year for her birthday and this one turned out to be her favorite so far. Mine too actually. Well worth the price—it actually told a story and felt really long in a good way!

My wife and I went for our 10 year wedding anniversary and we didn’t know what to expect. We were completely amazed in how spooky all the actors looked. We jumped plenty of times but we still didn’t want to close our eyes because we didn’t want to miss any of the impressive visuals!
