2023 Attractions

Imprisoned falsely for the Warden’s murder, Inmate #13’s existence was marred by unremitting misery, where only pain offered an escape. Confined within their cell, they endured untold horrors for decades. Now you are thrown amidst the chaos of a prison riot, where they were forgotten until, driven by desperation, they gnawed away at the bars, ultimately achieving the freedom they craved. Consumed by an insatiable thirst for revenge, they now haunt the very grounds you walk, Cellblock 13.Cross their path, and you shall suffer a fate far worse than death itself.

Amidst the Ghost Chamber’s harrowing experiments, only the most wicked and bloodthirsty prisoners managed to endure and prevail. Now they govern the very realm you have entered. The old prison yard has reshaped it into a terrifying labyrinth, brimming with disorienting twists and turns. So beware, for the perilous dead ends are patrolled by these chainsaw-wielding inmates, ready to strike without mercy!

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.
