Brighton Asylum

Once closed to the public for nearly six decades, Brighton Asylum reopened in 2011 with a new chapter as a seasonal haunted attraction. Today, visitors are invited year-round to step inside its long-abandoned halls and explore a place shaped by time, mystery, and imagination. Featuring two haunted houses and four escape rooms at a single location, Brighton Asylum offers a thrill-driven experience that adds a darker edge to the region’s lineup of unexpected discoveries.
