5 Terrifying Attractions

Plus food, music, & lots of entertainment

House Of Hell

Step Inside. Become the Evidence.

A corrupt judge once freed a sadistic killer who preyed on the wealthy and skinned his victims alive. One October night, the killer took the judge’s wife, Mary - returning her to their doorstep by morning, lifeless and without skin. Driven mad, the judge fled to an old farm in Galena, Maryland, taking Mary’s body with him. In 1972, he was accused of kidnapping a woman - locals say he was searching for skin to restore his beloved wife. Some believe he buried her on the farm. Others say she’s still inside.

  • "One member of our party (me) was so scared that they (I) refused to go into the last attraction ... We all had a great time, I just got so scared and jumpy that I felt like I was going to pass out."

  • "We drove an hour and 40 mins to be scared every minute around every corner ... We will be back next year. This is the best haunted attraction we visited and this was number 4 this month ... If you looking for the real deal this place is it hands down."

  • "Once again, 301 Devils Playground did not disappoint!"

3-D Phobia

Come face your fears in 3-D Phobia

  • "My heart is still beating fast and my throat hurts from screaming the detail is so real that it makes you forgot it’s all fake also the 3d clowns are so cool!!! Definitely the best one I ever went to!"

  • "I’ve been to all the top rated attractions in PA and decided to take the drive to 301 Devils playground. All I can say is WOW! The props and actors are amazing! Definitely my new favorite of all I’ve visited so far!"

The Barn Of Torture

Built for Screams

The judge hired local twin boys to work the farm. Burned in a fire at age seven and hidden away by their mother, the twins grew up isolated and angry. The judge saw opportunity where others saw disfigurement. Whispers say he used the boys to lure wealthy victims back to the farm. If their skin wasn’t “fit” for his plans, the twins were allowed to finish the job. Locals still claim that on quiet nights, screams and strange noises echo from the fields.

  • "My boyfriend and I have been to plenty haunted walks across the tri-county area and this is one of the best. The scare actors got me pretty good multiple times! They were even able to scare my boyfriend (who is very hard to scare) will definitely go back, can't beat the price for VIP tickets!"

  • "The reality of this attraction is crazy… highly recommended."

  • "Best jump scares, top tier animatronics, good actors ... I never peed my pants till this place. Lmao"

The HArvest

A corn maze of pure horror and madness!

The Harvest drags you deep into a cornfield where the light dies fast and the air turns cold. Whispers circle you from every direction, and the towering stalks block any chance of escape. They’re out there...the stalkers...hiding between the rows, ready to lunge from the darkness and claim what you brought with you… your courage, your screams, maybe even your soul.

  • "In my 30 years attending attractions, I have never been to one that really scared the shish out of me till 301 devils playground."

  • "The price is great, the attractions are awesome & every year they change it up. We love watching this place grow!! Always a favorite."

  • "This was absolutely worth a 4 hour drive! The effort put into the attractions is very evident, location is perfect and the scare actors were amazing."

Animatronics are cool. I wish they had more employees, but those there made it awesome. Biting Bill rocks (you still need a beard on cold nights, my dude). Totally recommended!

Huge thank you to 301 Devil’s Playground! After losing my wallet and ID for weeks, I came home to find it mailed back to me with a sweet “Happy Holidays” note. In the middle of holiday retail chaos (as a retail employee), that kindness meant the world. Truly went above and beyond! I’ll definitely be visiting again!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Terrifying — The Best Haunted Attraction in America! This has got to be the best haunted attraction in the country! 301 Devil’s Playground was absolutely terrifying from start to finish. The actors, makeup, and sets were out of this world — everything looked like you were actually walking through hell. I honestly thought I was going to pass out at one point, but a crew member was kind enough to sit with me until I felt okay to continue. That shows how professional and caring the staff are, even in such an extreme environment. My boyfriend is not easy to scare, and even he was completely shaken! I ended up throwing up four times from the scares alone — that’s how intense it was. If you’re looking for an experience that pushes your limits, this is the place. The actors, crew, and set design are phenomenal. I wouldn’t recommend anywhere else but here!

Had a lot of problems. The biggest is there's a big difference between being scared and actually unsafe- tripping hazards are not jump scares. Props hanging to crowds spaces that can swing and hit you and do real damage should be replaced with something softer. Having moving floors in black out rooms is going to get someone actually hurt. I'm here to be scared not run an obstacle course. Moving floor scares aren't unheard of, but repeated use of them in long hallways without hand rails of any kind, on top of being expected to move extremely quickly, just isn't reasonable or safe. Previous haunts I have been to use these for one or two steps and are plenty effective. Many of the tripping hazards weren't related to these, and simply a matter of sudden inclines, poorly contracted ramps, and uneven transitions in fully dark places Besides being a shambling mass of OSHA violations, the quality of the scares were poor. If you are not afraid of the dark it's not scary. Black out was overused and basically just an excuse to hide how cheap a lot of the props were. They also rush you through faster than any haunted house I have ever been to- the pace set by the staff at the start left me winded. Between these I wasn't able to really see any of the rooms in the first attraction, despite seeming like they had elaborate set ups. Supposedly there was some kind of story line, I have no idea what it is because in just walking through nearly pitch black rooms full of loud noises. There was an obvious evil farm theme for most but also there were suddenly clowns in the middle? Jumpscares were overused- they're a necessity in any haunted house, but it was about the same 3 ones over an over, you get numb to the airguns after the 4th let alone 8th, especially with how frequent they are. They don't let you rest or instill any kind of anticipation, there's never time for things to set in because they are constantly setting things off and rushing you through, so you don't really have time for anything to register. The vast majority of actors didn't do anything. They at most just meandered creepily, no improve and the interaction would be so brief it wouldn't be scary. Most were just glorified jumpscares and nothing else. This isn't a small scale show, we're talking 50+ people who are all just... In low budget mask costumes and kind of there. There were two playing creepy litter girls who were actually acting, with actual dialogue and actually engaging with people, but because they were the only two it just set a contrast for how low effort everything else was. This is the first haunted house I have ever left early. After being hit in the face by hanging props and coming close to falling and hurting myself multiple times I decided I was not confident it was safe enough for me to continue, and certainly not worth the risk given any immersion was completely lost to the real world logistical issues.
