At over 30 years in operation, Nightmare Mansion, located at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront, is Virginia Beach’s longest-running haunted house, and they’re not slowing down. Test your bravery in the dark and narrow corridors filled with unspeakable evil around every corner. The unmissable mansion, which you can walk through at your own pace, is filled with live actors and is truly intense and terrifying. This attraction is absolutely not recommended for children.
