Worcester, MA — The Worcester Red Sox will bring Halloween to Polar Park this October with “Fright Nights at the Field: Boo in the Woo,” a spooky nighttime experience for mature audiences, and “Boo in the Woo for Kids,” a daytime fall festival for families.
“Fright Nights at the Field” opens Thursday, October 9, and runs every Thursday through Sunday evening through Halloween, October 31. The haunted walkthrough takes visitors through a fictional, abandoned Polar Park overrun by zombies and ghoulish creatures portrayed by professional cosplayers. Guests must be at least 12 years old to attend.
“Boo in the Woo for Kids” begins Saturday, October 11, and runs every weekend afternoon in October, offering costumes, pumpkin decorating, a maze, crafts, and other family activities.
Tickets for both events go on sale Thursday, August 14, at polarpark.com/boo, with WooSox Season Ticket Members and subscribers to exclusive updates receiving pre-sale access on Wednesday, August 13.
Advance tickets for “Fright Nights at the Field” are $27 through September 30, $29 starting October 1, and $31 on the day of the event. Groups of 15 or more save $2 per ticket. VIP packages are $59 and include access to the Royal Wooters Club, a complimentary beverage in a souvenir cup, and fall-themed food and beverage options.
Tickets for “Boo in the Woo for Kids” are $12 for adults and $10 for children when purchased in advance. Day-of prices are $15 for adults and $12 for children. The WooSox will also announce their fifth annual free one-day Trick-or-Treat event at Polar Park at a later date.
Both the haunted experience and the children’s festival are rain-or-shine events. In the event of severe weather, fans can exchange tickets for another date.
The Home Plate Bar will transform into an Oktoberfest-style beer garden with seasonal food and drinks, while the WooSox Team Store will offer limited-edition glow-in-the-dark apparel.
