“For the first time ever, Kennywood will be open all day and well into the evening on Saturdays and Sundays in October, plus Friday evenings,” Kennywood General Manager Mark Pauls said in a release.

There will be treats as well. Phantom Fall Fest will debut a new food and drink menu. Guests will find turkey legs, pumpkin funnel cakes, seasonal beers and more. Of course, you can still get the Potato Patch fries.

When the sun goes down, you’ll have five haunted houses, four scare zones and more to choose from.
