This haunted house attraction comes with a chilling history. The Pennhurst State School and Hospital faced continuous scrutiny over its abusive care for residents and closed after almost 80 years of operation. The supposedly haunted grounds now house realistic, hospital-themed attractions featuring life-like animatronics and highly motivated actors. Each season they make changes and add new props to delight and scare visitors.
