Things to do near Detroit this weekend: Dearborn’s Haunted Trail returns to Ford Field Park

DEARBORN, Mich. — Dearborn’s wooded Halloween trail returns to Ford Field Park this weekend with a family sensory hour Friday evening and the main Creatures of the Woods experience through Sunday night, Visit Detroit says.

Creatures of the Woods. Ford Field Park, 22051 Cherry Hill St., hosts the trail from 7 to 11 p.m. Friday through Sunday, Oct. 16–18, Visit Detroit says. Advance tickets are $10; day-of tickets are $15. Tickets are tied to a date and time slot. The listing is presented by Ford Community Relations.

Witching Hour. Adults 18 and older can buy tickets for an intensified last hour from 10 to 11 p.m., Visit Detroit says.

Sensory-friendly hour. Families who want treats without the scares can use a free trick-or-treating trail from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 16. Registration is encouraged but the hour is free, the listing says.

Food options include a Treat Tent with cider, donuts and s’mores kits by the fire pits, plus food trucks and a DJ in a party pavilion. Check visitdetroit.com for tickets and any weather updates before you go.
