In the heart of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, one of the most terrifying haunted attractions in the country awaits. The 13th Gate has been pushing the limits of fear since 2002 — and in 2025, the nightmare only grows deeper.

Spanning 40,000 square feet of intricately detailed horror, The 13th Gate takes guests through 13 uniquely immersive realms designed to overwhelm the senses. From fog-drenched swamps to crumbling asylums and cursed graveyards, every inch of this haunt is built to blur the line between fiction and reality.

In 2024, guests descended into the Sewers, a new twisted realm crawling with deranged clowns who thrive in the dark. Coming in 2025, the horror intensifies with the arrival of a Frankenstein-inspired lab, where bolts of lightning and forbidden science bring the dead to life.

What sets The 13th Gate apart isn’t just its Hollywood-quality set design, but its commitment to full sensory immersion. Custom scents, layered soundscapes, and over 150 live actors bring each world to life with terrifying precision — all crafted by a team of 13 elite makeup artists. This dedication has earned The 13th Gate the title of #1 Haunted House in the Nation multiple times.

Looking for the ultimate scare? Step into the pitch-black during Flashlight Fright Nights, where the haunt goes completely dark and guests must navigate the terror with only small LED finger lights. Every creak, breath, and footstep becomes a threat.
