I had alot of fun here. The actors were great as well as the props and sound effects. The food and drinks were good choices. I loved the horror gift shop and Pennhurst Asylum apparel. Be warned however if you dont like crowds or actors jumping up and touching or brushing past you, be smart and make your best judgement. If you are also very spiritual and empathic, I also explore you not to go into the exhibits. I was in all 4 exhibits (The catacombs, Hospital, Morgue and Tunnels) and you start to feel your heart racing, sometimes I would sharp pokes in my chest including scratching, grabbing, kicking and at 1 point as I was on my way from the hospital to the morgue just leaving the hospital, I felt an icy hot touch holding my right hand. If you get freaked by it, I warn you to not go in. They have event staff and security all over, so if you have to leave at any time, do not hesitate to let them know. Also if you can't where you parked your car, event staff will help and I had a situation like that. They were very helpful in locating my car. Now to warn after 12:30-1am, if you dont make your way to your car fast enough and you are still at the Asylum, the lights will go out and my anxiety and fear spiked. I am not a fan of the dark especially in haunted places. Overall it was fun and we all had a good time!

This was amazing, thoroughly enjoyed it. Best haunt we've been to yet. The actors/actresses were very good. Perfect balance of professional and personable. Props were designed well. Thrilling and actually made us jump. (Her more than me) Would definitely recommend this more for adults than kids. (Though we did see some there)

Went there on 10/10/2025. The trip is about 2 hours and 15 minutes from Baltimore, and that’s too long a drive for any haunted attraction for me. My limit is 90 minutes and my perfect drive to a haunted attraction is a 60-70 minute drive. Here is my rating system: Quality of attraction: 5/5 Waiting time in regular line: 5/5 Entertainment (actors) working the line: 5/5 Concessions and store: 5/5 Price of admission compared to attraction: 5/5 I got in line for the trail at 6:50 and got in the first of four attractions immediately. There was a five minute wait to get into the second attraction, which is absolutely fine. The scare actors did a great job in the attractions. Each of the four attractions took 10-15 minutes to complete. The range of material was superb and there were excellent scares throughout. There aren’t many things to do outside of the attractions. Just a basketball throw and walk through a Halloween park. The experience is very linear and you can’t pick the order in which you experience the haunts. You also can’t access the concessions/store until you complete the haunt. The concessions were fantastic with lots of variety. The merchandise store had lots of variety and is one of the largest I’ve seen for an haunt. Overall, Pennhurst is a great haunted attraction, with a few tweaks, could be the best experience around!
