The Ridgewood Asylum, aka the city's most terrifying interactive Haunted House and Escape Room experience, is back, opening its doors on select dates in October! Prepare your senses for a spine-chilling, heart-pounding descent into madness as this immersive, interactive horror adventure will leave your blood running cold, your knees buckling, and your inner demons screaming for mercy.
Grab your $25 GA Ticket (a $34 value) for admission to this scream-inducing yearly sensation. It's set to be the biggest and scariest haunted house they have ever done, so muster up the courage, bring your crew or a date, and hold on to each other for dear life as you navigate the mayhem!
Enter into a realm of darkness where, years ago, the police uncovered the gruesome horrors that transpired within the walls of the abandoned Ridgewood Asylum, but no killer was ever found. Since then, the building has remained eerily silent, with evil festering in the shadows...until now.
Are you brave enough? Even if you are, prepare to immerse yourself in a waking nightmare you won't soon forget...
This Halloween, step inside the twisted remains of The Ridgewood Asylum, where madness lingers and terror breathes through the walls. Built on the ashes of a notorious 1972 massacre, this once-forgotten psychiatric hospital has reopened its doors, and it’s been waiting for you. From the moment you enter, reality begins to unravel in a nightmarish blend of immersive horror and psychological torment.
Time Out warns that you’ll “live out your most frightening fantasies,” and they’re not wrong. After the slaughterhouse was demolished, the asylum was meant to be a place of healing. Instead, it became a playground for something far more sinister. Patients went missing. Staff turned violent. The screams didn’t stop until the building was sealed in 1980.
No killer was ever caught. No explanation was ever given. Paranormal investigators who’ve since entered report hearing whispers behind locked doors and seeing shadows that move against the light. Now, for the first time in over four decades, the asylum is open to the public.
The Ridgewood Asylum combines the intensity of a haunted house with the tension of an escape room. Your goal? Make it out alive. But beware: those who walked these cursed halls before you weren’t so lucky. The nightmare has awakened—and it wants more than just screams. Will you survive the terror that lies within? Or will Ridgewood claim you as its next permanent resident?
Your $25 GA Ticket (a $34 Value) Includes:
May purchase as many tickets as you like for personal use or for gifting.
Expires Wednesday October 29, 2025.
