Fear Asylum
2024-10-04 19:00 - 23:00 | Fear Asylum
The Fear Asylum is rated South Dakota’s top haunted attraction and is a must-visit in the fall.
The patients are restless, and that’s putting it mildly.
The seemingly now abandoned Brookend Asylum has been overturned by the patients who have come to realize they’re not the only demented and twisted ones onsite; the doctors they thought were there to help them have ulterior agendas. The newly unearthed government-funded C.E.C. – Covert Experimentation Center is where the facility staff has been taking unwitting patients turned test subjects for years. The C.E.C. is packed with the most vile, disturbing, mutilated creatures not even your worst nightmares could concoct. But how does all of this terror and horror go unnoticed? The avaricious caretaker of the Asylum’s graveyard takes no issue with hiding the failed experiments amongst the numerous headstones.
*The Fear Asylum is open to all ages. It is not recommended for very young children and children under 12 should be accompanied by an adult.
