Such an awesome experience with my family. We participated in a flashlight tour and the haunted house and we were not disappointed! The flashlight tour was educational and spooky. The haunted house was SO much fun, jump scares galore!!! We will be returning soon!

My brother and I did a history tour on 8/25 with Maddison. It was such an interesting experience to see this place in person, and Maddison was a great tour guide. I definitely recommend checking this place off your bucket lists.

I visited the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum for the Paranormal Day Tour, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! Our tour guide was fantastic, not only did they share so many fascinating paranormal stories and experiences, but they also provided insight into the asylum’s history and what daily life and operations were like for those who lived and worked there. As someone who has a strong interest in both paranormal activity and history, this was a must visit destination for me. I actually traveled from North Carolina specifically to visit, and I already find myself wanting to come back. 🥹 The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum is such an eerily fascinating and fabulous place, and the entire team does an incredible job of creating an experience that is both educational and unforgettable. I absolutely loved my visit and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in history, the paranormal, or both!

I love this place but how can you charge this much for overnight tours and not allow people to visit the most haunted section?

So a group of 7 of us attended the over night hint.  What a mistake!  If you want to whisper and not try to get anything to interact with you then by all means go to the library.   Several times we could hear group above us screaming and moving around (and this included our tour guide) we did not complain. This is an old building and noise travels easily. We were a much larger group as a whole than the rest. Telling us we are to loud and the groups below us were complaining. Well you could have asked us how our experience was with all the noise we was hearing from them and outside also.  This is an old building and noise travels and echos down hallways. My boyfriend was a hallway away from us and heard a bell ding we was trying to get a response out of.  Either way I recommend people don’t pay all the money for your night tour.  Been a lot of places and we didn’t even bother after your supervisor attitude we just left half way through the third floor.  We also have recordings of our visit that can show how loud we was! 🤔

Great historic tour
My son and I took one of the historic tours this fall and it was very informative. The tour guide was great! We plan to go back.

Great historical tour & information
A great tour. Very knowledgeable guides and tons of interesting history. So sad to learn how easily people could be committed, especially females, with no recourse. We really enjoyed the historical aspects. Highly recommend & will return to soak up more of the history

50th Birthday
My boyfriend and I came here to do an overnight ghost hunt for his 50th birthday and we really enjoyed it. The facility is very well run and the staff is very knowledgeable, you can tell they love their jobs. We also did a day time tour and learned a lot about the history so I recommend doing that as well because it makes the overnight experience that much more interesting. Shout out to Ellery for a great experience!

Stellar experience
Great experience all around. Made it in time for the VIP tour that was 90 minutes with the most experienced guide, Greg. We got a great informative tour with historic facts as well as paranormal information. But our guide's good humor is what made it memorable and not boring and dry. I loved seeing this historic building in person that I only previously learned about on TV. From start to finish, this was everything I dreamed of and more. Greeted before even entering and given all the info about the tours so we could make an informed decision on what we wanted to do. I wish the gift shop had more sizes in stock of their great T-shirts. Other than that, another thing knocked off my bucket list. Would love to return to your the criminally insane building, but once is enough for my boyfriend. Lol

Interesting Place to Visit!
The tour was interesting. Staff knew the history. Great place to visit. This is my second visit and would absolutely go again and take a different tour. Each tour shares a different part of TALA's history.
