EASTON, Pa. – Bushkill Park and Grove plans to turn smiles into screams this fall at the country's oldest funhouse. 

The spooky transformation of Hilarity Hall, which is more than 100 years old, will be part of the Pennsylvania park's Haunted Halloween Fun event. The event will run on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays beginning Sept. 14 through Oct. 28, according to a park flyer. 


Admission for Haunted Halloween Fun is $20, cash only, and includes the haunted funhouse and a haunted train ride. Refreshments, roller skating, and other rides are an additional cost. 

A portion of the proceeds will benefit The Gary Sinese Foundation for wounded veterans.

A post in the Bushkill Park Friends Facebook page described the haunted train ride as featuring ghostly figures in the fog and the haunted funhouse as "a maze of terror filled with creepy clowns and haunted dolls. Each room offers a different scare, so prepare to be startled," according to the post.
