Halloween

The 5 best haunted attractions in and around the Lower Merion area

1. Eastern State Penitentiary is located at Fairmount Avenue Philadelphia it used to be a prison but closed in 1971.  Now it is a landmark but on halloween it becomes a haunted house. There you can take a tour and go to one of the many different themed haunted areas from kaleidoscope hall to Machine Shop. My favorite is Kaleidoscope hall.  It is a Neon maze with moving LED lights to make sure not to get dizzy. This haunted house is a 4.5 out of 5 on the scary level. Ages 11-. 

2. Lincoln Mill haunted house is an indoor haunted house in Manayunk Philadelphia. It is an indoor haunted house so it is a little bit more scary. It does not have multiple parts, but the one part it does have is really scary. This haunted house is a 5 out of 5 on th scary level ages 12-

3. Bates Motel haunted house is a haunted house in Glenn's Mill PA. It is a great place to go with friends because it has 3 attractions, A haunted trail, a haunted house and a haunted hayride. The drive though is a staggering 30 minutes. This haunted attraction is a 4 out of 5 on the scary level ages 9- 

4. Shiver Fest is a nice peaceful haunted event. Shiver fest is located at riverbend park gladwyne PA. It is not necessarily a haunted house, more of a halloween event. There is a haunted trail and some other events such as bug holding. Shiver fest is for all ages because it is not that scary and it is family friendly.
