Pennsylvania Top Haunt: Bates Motel
Mother! Oh God, mother! Blood! Blood!

Operating for over 30 years, The Bates Motel & Haunted Hayride has become one of the most iconic and popular haunted attractions in America. Visitors get to experience a haunted motel, a spine-chilling haunted hayride, and a cornfield trail, all of which are full of Hollywood-quality sets, advanced special effects, and a huge cast of trained actors dressed up in terrifying makeup and costumes.
The haunted motel offers incredible realism and totally immerses both new and experienced haunt fans with endless action, plenty of surprises, and huge scenes full of custom props that you won’t see anywhere else. Not to be outdone, the haunted hayride is packed full of monsters, pyrotechnics, and a variety of jaw-dropping scenes that won’t just scare you, but also leave you in awe over how large and detailed they are.
