This guided 90-minute tour walks you through this gothic-style structure and focuses on the main level of our facility.

Introducing West Virginia Penitentiary’s Photography Tour! This is not a guided tour; you can roam at your own pace and leisure.

Want to see what it is really like to spend the night in prison — but with no living residents? Tour the facility with a guide for a 90-minute guided tour, and then investigate on your own.

If things aren’t spooky enough during the day, you can visit the prison overnight. If you are searching for paranormal activities or just want to experience the penitentiary at midnight, here is a great chance.

Enjoy an evening at the prison during the twilight hours on select Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays!

Why wait for the weekend to have fun? Get started early with Thriller Thursdays! Spend three thrilling hours with us that you won’t soon forget!

Join us on a Nightmarish trip through our Dungeon of Horrors haunted house! Available starting at the end of September.

This 45-minute, lights out tour is only offered during our haunted house season. You’ll walk with one of our seasonal tour guides through the oldest portion of the prison, the northern most section of our facility and most known to have paranormal activity.
