The Haunt in Schaefferstown is a fully immersive, carnival grounds complex where at night it becomes a screamingly horrific experience. The Haunt sits on the Schaefferstown Fire Company Carnival Grounds, which held the first carnival in 1919, what happened in those 100 years? Enter the grounds and explore room after room, building after building, of darkness and chilling scenes, you will become a part of THE HAUNT! Just when you leave one building, you enter the outside terror that awaits you, and go back into another building, how will it end?! The only way to know is to come and find out!

The Haunt is sponsored by the Schaefferstown Fire Company and F.O.L.B. (Friends of Lebanon-Berks)

Don’t judge a book by its cover

When we first pulled up, my friends were laughing and asking, “What did you pick for us?!” 😂 Well, we went in and had an absolute blast! The Haunt of PA turned out to be one of the best haunts we’ve been to yet. Don’t let your first impression fool you—this place blew us all away!

From the screams and nonstop laughs to practically peeing our pants, we made memories we won’t forget! The actors were fantastic, and the birthday shout-outs to Nancy throughout the carnival grounds made the night even more special.

What really touched us was the last stop, where they explained why they do this and that everyone is a volunteer. The heart, dedication, and enthusiasm behind this haunt truly shine through.

We’ll definitely be back next year to support them and get scared all over again by their amazing volunteer actors! Thank you for such a memorable night! 👻🎃

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Superb actors that put so much work into making this an enjoyable event! Definitely going to make this an annual event. Really don't know why we didn't do it already until this year! So glad we did! Kudos to everyone that made this happen! Can't wait to see what it's like next year!!!

Actually scary!

All of the actors were incredible! We weren't sure what to expect when we arrived, but we were pleasantly terrified that we stayed! We are going to make this an annual tradition now. If you like old school haunted houses that rely on animatronics (like some of the more famous PA attractions) definitely check this place out!

A creataive original & immersive experience

VERIFIED

Visited 2024 & opening weekend 2025 - Love that it is different/changed up each year, the creativity, originality & dedication is clearly apparent. In 2024 some areas were changed for the last weekend they were open when visiting, then it was for the other (2024) weekends. That was unexpected but still a good time. It is a great, fun and enjoyable time with a lot of great people.

Great event

It was put together well, great crew! The only thing that would make it better would to have a food truck and fried Oreo's!

Best Haunt and Best Price

This haunt is great! Excited to get tickets for this year, the past 2 years were outstanding and nothing like I have ever scene before. It is not fake or with a lot of animatronics, actors and costumes are great! Highly recommend
