Visit the McCabe Haunt for the Last Time + Halloween Light Shows
ADA, LOWELL, ATLO: There are spectacular Halloween houses east of Grand Rapids – but they’re quite spread out. This 92 minute route will take you to a cool Halloween Lights show in Alto (stay at least 10 minutes!) and another in downtown Lowell.
This is the final year for the McCabe Haunt in Ada. Do not miss it! This is a walkable experience that includes fog-filled bubbles and tons of animatronics.

A bonus flashlight corn maze is plotted on this map: Heidi’s Farmstand.
Visit after dark on Friday and Saturday evenings in October. Maze entrance open until 8 PM.
Tickers are $10 for adults and $7 for kids. Buy online.
They are a great place to stop if you want donuts and cider, too. (Heidi’s is closed Sundays.)
Halloween taste varies! Check the descriptions below to see which if this is the haunted journey for you.
We’ve included some unconfirmed houses on this list so be sure to note that before heading out. We’re hoping we were just out scouting too early for these homeowners.

Giant spiders and their webs take over the yard at this spooky house.

McCabe Haunt
777 McCabe Ave NE, Ada, Michigan 49301
Confirmed for 2024
This the last year for the beloved McCabe Haunt as the homeowners are moving.
A creepy cemetery, skeleton horses, lights and smoke... this display changes every year. * Please park on grass on either McCabe or on Conservation. DO NOT stop in the street as McCabe is a busy street. ** (There is a wide sidewalk along the display, but be mindful of young children, as this display is on a county road without street lights and drivers cannot see you.)
Most lights will remain on throughout the night. Fog and fog filled bubbles running from 5:30 - 9 PM on nights it’s not raining. Most animatronics have "try me" or "push buttons" in front of them to activate.
There's a freaky animated angel in a red box that might startle younger kids. (Or also adults, like our GRKIDS team member who visited recently.)
