A mansion sits atop a hill overlooking the town of Kensington, Prince Edward Island just daring the brave tourists passing by to take a closer look.

The elaborate Tudor-style mansion is surrounded by beautiful gardens, paths and water features, but don’t let the serene setting fool you – the mansion has long been known to be haunted!

According to local legend, a wealthy Englishman named Dr. Jack settled in Kensington in the late 1890s and built this grand estate to mirror the opulent homes of London. Rumor has it the mansion operated as an inn, hosting guests whose disappearances remain a mystery. Some even whisper that the infamous Lizzie Borden once passed through its doors.

Nowadays, the Haunted Mansion is a fun-filled attraction suited for the young and young at heart. Open mid-June through early September, the Haunted Mansion is a must-see for anyone with an adventurous spirit. Open select dates in October for the Halloween – Nights of Fear when all of the ghouls come out of hiding to thrill and chill.

Touring the mansion is a heart-pounding experience as startling surprises pop out of the woodwork and have you screaming in fright. Our Island Insiders love the spinning vortex hallway that always leaves them feeling weak in the knees!

For those seeking a less intense experience, bypass routes lead to “lighter” rooms, ensuring that everyone—from the most timid visitors to the boldest adventurers—can enjoy their visit. It’s the perfect mix of fright and fun for the whole family.

Outside, the mansion’s meticulously maintained gardens and water features create a picturesque backdrop, ideal for snapping family photos or catching your breath after a thrilling tour. With affordable ticket prices and hours of entertainment, the Haunted Mansion is a can’t-miss PEI experience.
