THE EXPERIENCE
Haunted Poconos Park is the evolution and expansion of Haunted Lehman Park, started 15 years ago, and moved to Poconos Park in 2022.
Haunted Poconos Park’s main attraction will be the Playhouse of Horror, where the Path of the Undead will lead those who dare through the Carnival of Chaos, into the Plagued Prison, Cannibal Kitchen, Nightmare Nursery, and if you’re lucky to survive back out to safety!
Haunted Poconos Park includes the Kid’s Trick or Treat Trail with games, not so scary scenery, photo ops and more, guaranteeing a bag of candy to be collected by all ages 12 and under. The Pumpkin Patch offers pumpkins for purchase with free carving and painting stations. Haunted Poconos Park will feature photo ops for all ages, food and drinks for purchase (including adult beverages), bounce house, and of course, fire pits with s’mores kits! Additionally, there will be pony rides on Saturday, October 19, and Saturday, October 26, from 2-6PM.
We are located less than 90 minutes from NYC and Philly, and only 75 minutes from Newark.
No matter the direction you come from, it’s the Poconos! It’s going to be beautiful!
WE'RE HIRING!
Poconos Park is excited to host our second annual community Halloween event & haunted house experience this October and we are in need of volunteers and staff to fill a variety of roles!
