Detached
The Puppet Master’s delusional quest to put on the perfect show has only led him deeper into madness... Now, he’s handpicking parts for his puppets from the brave souls who enter his toy shop. Keep your head on straight if you’re going to survive a trip through his world of deranged dolls and manic marionettes!
mALICE in Wonderland Unleashed
Travel deep inside Alice's mind, a labyrinth of dark and twisted memories of her time in Wonderland. Through the looking glass, you'll face a familiar cast of characters transformed by a kaleidoscope of broken recollections and ill intentions. Your journey is darker, scarier, and nearly twice as long this time around. Be careful not to lose your mind - or head - in the maze!
Shady Grove
Shady Grove Memorial Hospital has fallen on hard times, with rumors of an evil doctor running free, looking for specimens for his collection. We need your help to discover who is causing the chaos within this former place of healing. If you choose to take on the challenge, remember that your eyes are the window to your soul.
Dark Shadows
The Shadows are everywhere. As you make your way through the pitch-black setting, you will encounter the shadows of the night. The shadows play games with your mind, lurking around every twist and turn. Don’t let them get the best of you.
Voodoo Bayou
Join Swamp Canoe and Raft Excursions — S.C.A.R.E. — for an exciting excursion through the bayou! You’re not entering just any typical swampland, though — you’re entering a world filled with creatures and voodoo priestesses who conjure up the dead to prey on the living. Whatever you may fear, those who possess the power of voodoo will be sure those fears are unleashed to find you.
Kennyville Cemetery
Welcome to the most haunted grounds in Kennywood! At Kennyville Cemetery, the dead are rising from their graves with an unnatural hunger. These zombies are seeking fresh humans to feed on, so be sure to stay on the path and obey the rules — or you might just be their next meal.
Yes, all haunts are wheelchair accessible; however, motorized scooters are not permitted. Guests using motorized scooters must transfer to a provided wheelchair at the entrance to each haunt. If a guest using a wheelchair cannot push themselves, they must have someone that can assist them through the haunt. Keep in mind that the Kennyville Cemetery and Dark Shadows haunts have uneven terrain in some sections. In order to bypass the stairs in the Voodoo Bayou haunt, notify a host at the entrance for assistance.
The frights can't be contained! The Phantom's monsters take their torture to the midways: Fear Fest, Dead Light District, Hellbilly Hollow, and The Welcoming await - all included with admission.
Fear Fest
Step right up and enter our Festival of Fear! The finest, most demented clowns in the world will be sure to entertain you as you walk through this fun-filled carnival. Our clowns just want to have some fun at your expense.
Dead Light District
A modern day zombie apocalypse has taken over this cityscape park. In the Dead Light District, everyday park goers have been turned into rabid zombies looking for their next victim. They will welcome you into their domain with only one thing on their minds… eating your brain!
Hellbilly Hollow
Yee-haw! The disturbed cannibals that inhabit this farm move with an unsettling, unhinged energy where their distorted grins and vacant stares will leave you screaming for your mommy. You never know what's lurking the the cornstalks!
The Welcoming
Thick with fog, Kennywood's tunnel turns sinister with a rotating cast of dark and disturbing figures. Whether it's your first fright or your last, it'll leave a lasting impression.
