Prepare for the worst night of your life, because Picnics in the Park has now opened a Haunted House, the Asylum, to all those who dare enter. Don’t say we didn’t warn you – whatever you fear the most, be it clowns or possessed dolls – are all hiding beneath the haunted walls of this former psychiatric institute ready to give you a spine-chilling adventure.

#PIP are extending The Asylum to be longer with additional scenes.

“Dr. Vanicutt, a psychiatric doctor from Pennsylvania, opened up the country’s first premier psychiatric institute for the criminally insane in 1939. However after his wife tragically died, and his only daughter Anastasia disappeared mysteriously, Vanicutt went mad and delirious – some even say he was possessed. The Asylum suffered in the process, with Vanicutt tormenting his patients, conducting grotesque and inhumane medical procedures that eventually riddled the hospital with death and evil.”

Before you plan out your trip, here are a couple things you need to know:

Asylum is open during 19:00 - 22:00 Fridays and Saturdays from the 1 November 2019 - 7 December 2019.

• Fridays are adult only
• Saturdays are all ages, Patients under 17 years old may enter prohibited to enter with consent from their parents and a release form.
• Photo and video-taking is strictly prohibited
• Those with existing or pre-existing physical and mental medical issues are not recommended to enter.
• Staff will be on location throughout the attraction in case of any emergencies should the event become too much for the patients.

Suffice it to say, the Asylum is not for the faint of heart. However, we can’t deny it is an epic experience – especially for horror film fans and all those who claim they have no scary bone in their body. We’d like to see you try this attraction out for yourself and see if that statement still rings true after an infinite amount of jump scares!

• Cost: From R40 - R100
• When:
  • 1 November - 7 December (Fridays & Saturdays)
  • Fridays, 7pm - 10pm
  • Saturdays, 7pm -10pm
• Venue: Riversands Farm Village, Rose Rd, Knopjeslaagte, Midrand
