This is incredibly sad news. We hope to see the spooky adventures pick back up sooner rather than later 👻

ARADALE ASYLUM CLOSED❗️❗️

We are devastated to announce that Aradale Asylum has been closed due to concerns relating to it's upkeep. We have, and will continue to, advocate for the maintenance of the heritage site. This is a loss for our guides. Our community. Our business partners. Our families. Our friends.... We won't give up, we've been through this before and survived 15 years of fighting to keep the asylum alive. We have suspended all bookings and will begin to process refunds as the situation develops..We appreciate your support during this time. Please share, like and comment to spread the word.

Thank you, from Nathaniel Buchanan, Emilee Mclean and all of us at Eerie Tours.
