🧟‍♂️ THINK YOU CAN SURVIVE? 🌲💀

The woods are waking… and the undead are hungry. Next weekend, The Gary Pines becomes a battleground between the living and the lost.

📅 Date: Saturday, October 25, 2025
🕡 Time: 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM (Last groups start at 8:30 PM)
📍 Location: The Gary Pines — 2653 State Highway 32, Gary, MN
🎟️ Tickets: $15 (Cash or Venmo at the door)

Step into the darkness armed with nothing but 3 lives — and the will to survive. The zombies are faster this year, hungrier, and waiting in the shadows to claim you as one of their own.

If you make it to a Safe Zone, count yourself lucky. You’ll find:
🍔 Free themed snacks or drinks at several stops to refuel your strength
🍹 Cash bars serving up hauntingly good concoctions
🎉 Chilling surprises lurking where you least expect them

But don’t linger too long… the woods aren’t safe.

When (or if) you make it out, celebrate your survival at Who’s Place Bar for the Afterparty of the Undead with music by Eli Bently.

Will you survive The Pines — or join the horde?

The Pines Zombie Survival Event – Can You Make It Out Alive?

🧟‍♂️ Date: October 25, 2025
🕡 Time: Anytime between 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
🌲 Location: The Gary Pines (2653 State Highway 32, Gary, MN 56545)
🎟️ Tickets: $15 (Includes entry and snacks)

Join us for a heart-pounding, adrenaline-fueled night at The Gary Pines Zombie Survival Event! We had such a scary good time last year that the undead are back and spookier than ever.
Are you ready to test your survival skills and face the undead in the dark, eerie woods of The Pines? This is no ordinary walk in the forest—you'll start with 3 lives (flags on a belt) and try to keep them as zombies chase you through the path. Your goal? Make it to the end with at least one life left!

Along the way, you'll find four Safe Zones, some offering food, activites, and cash bars with alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages available for purchase. Take a breather, refuel, and prepare to face the next stretch of danger. The question is: will you survive the night?

After the event, head up to Who's Place Bar for live music from Eli Bentley! Relax, celebrate your survival (or mourn your defeat), and enjoy a fun night with friends.

Bring your friends and make a night of it! The more people, the more fun… and the more chances to strategize and survive.
Get ready for a thrilling, one-of-a-kind experience!
Can't wait to see you all in the Pines.

The woods are quiet again... for now.

🧟‍♂️ Zombie Survival returns Saturday, October 25th at the Gary Pines.
And this time, the dead aren’t just wandering... they’re hunting.

You’ll be given three lives.
You’ll be running.
You’ll be screaming.
And if you’re not fast enough—you won’t make it out.

👣 One night.
🚩 Three lives.
💀 Zero mercy.

Don’t come alone. Don’t fall behind.
And whatever you do—don’t stop moving.

Event details coming soon... If you make it that long.
