VERY SCARY

Lincoln Mill Haunted House

Housed inside a historic Philadelphia textile mill, this high-intensity theatrical attraction leads visitors into a hidden basement chamber uncovered by hurricane floodwaters. Guests navigate dark, immersive environments brought to life with special effects and over 45 live actors portraying the tortured spirits of mill owner Viktor Kane's workforce experiments. The experience also includes queue line entertainment, a pre-show, and access to the mill yard and river deck.
