Center City welcomes its first-ever major all-ages Halloween attraction starting this week
Philadelphia, PA – New Jersey’s #1 most popular all-ages Halloween attraction has now expanded and opened in Philadelphia for 2026 spooky season! After last year’s huge success
at Deptford Mall, Halloween House Philly has now moved to Center City with double the space, 10 fully themed rooms, new interactive experiences, theme days, a retail shop and plenty of fun for families, friends and Halloween lovers of all ages. Designed to be spooky but never scary, Halloween House Philly takes visitors on a larger-than-life adventure through a winding Halloween ‘maze’ filled with imaginative environments, eye-catching displays, picture-perfect photo opportunities, hands-on activities and interactive challenges around every corner.
Unlike traditional haunted houses, there are no live monsters, frightening actors or unexpected jump scares. Instead, guests can explore at their own pace, discover surprises along the way and enjoy a playful Halloween experience that delivers all the fun of the season without the fright. The adventure even concludes with a surprise trick AND a surprise treat! Halloween House Philly is located directly inside the AMC Entrance (10th/Filbert), up the escalator and on the second floor by Primark. Hours are mall hours, Monday through Thursday during mall hours, from 4:00pm to 7:00pm, Friday from 4:00pm to 8:00pm, Saturday from 11:00am to 8:00pm and Sunday from 11:00am to 6:00pm. For tickets, additional information and sneak peeks inside the attraction, visit HalloweenHousePhilly.com and follow @HalloweenHousePhilly on social media.
“Halloween House is an all-ages, fully immersive experience where every themed room brings Halloween to life in a different way,” said Halloween House Philly Owner Peter Coyle. “Our goal is to create unforgettable Halloween fun for everyone, with no jump scares – just magic, excitement and plenty of memorable moments.”
He added, “I’m so excited; this year’s Halloween House is going to feel like a completely new experience as we expand into a new and larger space! We have added new rooms and things to explore. Even guests who have visited before will have a blast.”
‘We’re thrilled to welcome Halloween House to Fashion District Philadelphia this season,”
said Fashion District Philadelphia General Manager Dennis Deehan. “It’s a one-of-a-kind, immersive experience that gives Philadelphians and visitors a fun new reason to come downtown, and we can’t wait to see families, friends and fans of all things spooky enjoy it.”
Located on the second floor of Fashion District Philadelphia, Halloween House Philly transforms the former Forever 21 space near Primark into a festive indoor Halloween destination for visitors of all ages. Conveniently situated in the heart of Center City, the attraction is easily accessible through the mall entrance near AMC Theatres at 10th and Filbert Streets. With the entire experience indoors, Halloween House offers a perfect rain-or-shine outing for families, date nights, groups of friends and Halloween enthusiasts looking for a new way to celebrate the spooky season in Philadelphia.
For 2026, Halloween House Philly will feature 10 fully themed rooms, including returning favorites such as the Glow Room, Zombie Bunker, Spiderweb Spectacle, and Carnival of Horrors. Guests can also explore new experiences including the Jeopardy Room and Karaoke/Dance Room.
