At one of the largest interactive torture museums in the USA, your ticket gives you entry to a 6,000 square foot exhibition. On arrival you will collect an audio guide from the greeter. As you move through the displays, the guide’s instructions will lead you to learn about hundreds of examples of torture, interrogation, restraint and execution devices from humanity’s darker periods.

Along the way, wax sculptures of executioners and victims illustrate how many of the devices were used and help you gain a clearer sense of their operation. While you explore the galleries, you can also take part in the Ghost Hunting Experience by downloading the museum’s app.
