2024 Attractions

Guests are trapped in the labyrinthine corridors of the slaughterhouse, a twisted maze created by a deranged inmate of the Old Joliet Haunted Prison. Decorated with the remains of failed attempts, the gauntlet of horrors is further haunted by toxic zombies lurking in the shadows. Can you survive his game?

Leopold and Loeb, infamous criminals, discovered a hidden paranormal lab in Joliet Prison. Killing Dr. Ryker, they used his machines to reanimate inmates, aiming to rule. The plan backfired as the dead turned into bloodthirsty cadavers. Desperate, the brothers augmented themselves with Ryker’s technology and fought through the prison, battling the undead to prevent an outbreak, turning the penitentiary into a nightmarish battleground.

Assemble your team and battle your way through a horde of zombies within a top secret training facility. Equipped with laser tag rifles you and your group will make your way through a series of video game inspired levels inhabited by the walking dead! Are you up to the challenge?

I had a great time here! It’s unlike any place I’ve been to before, walking throughout the prison and passing by the old cells was really something.

This haunted house rocks. It was scare after scare and exceptionally set up. Very much worth the wait. They also have a gift shop, bar and food concessions. Do your self a favor and make this your next stop for Halloween.

One of the most unique haunted experiences in a real prison. Creepy waiting in line as your behind prison walls but not inside it yet with the guard tower flashing search lights down at you.
