The Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum is such an iconic place to visit! The outside stone is all hand carved. There is a lot of history to this place. The asylum is massive. The tours here are very informative and the tour guides do an amazing job at describing all the historical events that took place here. They also offer paranormal tours as well as photography tours. This is a must stop even if you're out of state.

My mom and I did a road trip 2 hours from Pittsburgh to come here. We absolutely loved our tour! We did the 90 minute historical tour, and if we didn't have to drive back home, we were considering doing the paranormal tour afterwards! Just means we have to go back! Our tour guide, John was really nice and funny, and very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend coming here.

Excellent tours. I went on the 4 floor tour and the Criminally Insane tour. Our tour guide Amanda did an excellent job explaining the history and everything about the asylum. Museums were very informative as well.

I went on the 4 Floor tour with guide Jessica and loved it. She had answers to any questions the group brought up. And it was interesting to see both the restored and unrestored areas of the facility. Def recommend

I took the 4 Floors tour and it was fantastic - full of history and local stories from our guide, John, who grew up in Weston. Highly recommend this interesting, macabre, and very photogenic place. Conveniently located right off I-79 if you are passing through WV by car.

We took the VIP tour and it was fantastic! Amy was our tour guide and her knowledge of the Asylum was amazing! She did a great job mixing the history and ghost stories together. The VIP tour does almost every inch of the main Asylum building and allows access the many rooms of exhibits. My kids are 12 and 15 and loved the tour. I also found out that it is a dog friendly place as well. I 100% recommend this tour.

We took the 90 minute 4 floor tour. Our guide was John and he did a great job. They give tours on the hour. You'll show up, sign a waiver, then purchase your tickets. With your ticket you'll have access to the museum. We weren't interested in the paranormal, so this tour was perfect. It touched on history, statistics, and stories of the patients. Few things to note. The only restrooms are at the beginning of the tour. There's a lot of walking and stairs. Nothing strenuous, but non-abled bodies might find it a challenge. I highly recommend. 90 minutes flew by!

Abaolutely fantastic tour with John our guide. Very informative and interesting. Such an important part of mental health care hx as well as womens rights. I recommend it to anyone headed to WV. Well worth the visit.

Admission prices are reasonable and there is a variety of tour options. This was our first visit, we went for the 90 minute Four Floor Tour. The tour was well paced and very informative. In addition, you get access to the museum area. Overall, I found the museum to be very well done. We will definitely be coming back to check out their other tour options.
