Bally’s Lake Tahoe in Stateline is hosting haunted carriage and hayride outings on Fridays and Saturdays from October 2 through November 1, 2026. The experience operates between 4:00 and 9:00 pm, giving visitors an evening activity near the casino and Highway 50 corridor.

The rides begin at the Bally’s valet area. Guests can choose an all-electric carriage or a hayride, traveling along a wooded route decorated with autumn lighting. The carriage offers cushioned seating and blankets, while the setting moves from the busy Stateline area into a quieter pine-lined landscape. Costumes are part of the seasonal atmosphere, and the outdoor timing means temperatures may feel chilly after sunset.

One listed outing falls on Saturday, October 10, 2026 at 4:00 PM. Online booking is available through the event listing. For travelers staying in the Stateline area, the attraction adds a scheduled Halloween-themed experience without requiring a drive to another part of the Tahoe region.

What to know
  • Main launch point: Bally’s Valet Area.
  • Two ride formats are offered: carriages and hayrides.
  • The carriage uses electric power.
  • The event runs on Fridays and Saturdays.
