How to Visit Dead Man's Farm: Location, Parking, and Contact Info

Updated

Dead Man's Farm Haunted Attraction is at 13100 W Lee Hwy, Philadelphia, TN 37846, just outside Knoxville and reachable from Chattanooga and Nashville. Parking is a large, lighted gravel lot for a $5 fee, cash only. For questions, text (865) 408-8527 (the site says texting is preferred) or email [email protected]. Use this guide to plan arrival, budget for parking, and reach the right contact before you go.

Where Dead Man's Farm Is Located

The address listed on the official site is:

13100 W Lee Hwy, Philadelphia, TN 37846

The site describes the attraction as easily accessible from three Tennessee cities:

  • Knoxville — the closest major city, and the one the attraction names in its own description ("Just outside Knoxville, TN")
  • Chattanooga
  • Nashville

Philadelphia, TN sits in Loudon County, east of Knoxville along the I-40/I-75 corridor. If you're coming from any of the three cities above, the drive is straightforward highway travel to W Lee Hwy.

Before You Leave

  • Enter the full address into your maps app rather than searching the attraction name — rural routes sometimes resolve to the wrong pin.
  • Check the site's Location page for any seasonal directions or entrance notes before driving.
  • Confirm the night's operating hours on the Tickets page, since haunted attractions typically run only on select evenings.

Parking: What to Expect and What to Bring

Detail Info
Lot type Large, lighted, gravel
Fee $5
Payment Cash only

The $5 cash-only fee is the single most common trip-planning snag. Card readers aren't mentioned for parking, so carry a $5 bill (or small bills) before you arrive. A lighted gravel lot means you won't need to navigate in the dark, but gravel and uneven ground are worth noting if anyone in your group has mobility concerns or is wearing thin-soled shoes.

Contacting Dead Man's Farm

Two official contact channels are listed:

  • Phone/text: (865) 408-8527 — the site explicitly says "We Prefer Text," so texting is the better first move for quick questions
  • Email: [email protected] — best for longer questions, group inquiries, or anything you want in writing

The site also links social accounts (Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, TikTok), which is where last-minute updates like weather closures or schedule changes are most likely to appear.

What to Ask About

  • Ticket availability and whether a specific night is sold out
  • Group or special-event arrangements
  • Accessibility questions for the house, trail, or parking lot
  • Job openings — the site has a dedicated Jobs page if you're asking about employment rather than visiting

Planning Around the Attractions

Your visit isn't just one walkthrough. The site lists these on-site options:

  • Bludgeon Haunted House — an indoor haunted house
  • Lost Souls Haunted Trail — an outdoor trail
  • The Midway Escape Games and Midway Carnival Games
  • The Haunted Pumpkin Gift Shop, food trucks, and communal midway bonfires

Because the trail is outdoors and the midway includes bonfires, dress for the weather and expect to be on your feet across uneven ground for a good part of the night. Build in extra time if you plan to do the house, the trail, and the midway games in one visit.

Quick Pre-Trip Checklist

  1. Confirm the night's dates and hours on the Tickets page.
  2. Buy tickets in advance — the site's banner reads "TICKETS ON SALE NOW!"
  3. Put the full street address in your maps app.
  4. Bring $5 in cash for parking.
  5. Save (865) 408-8527 for texts and [email protected] for email.
  6. Check social media the day of your visit for weather or schedule updates.

One note on reviews: the site shows a 4.4 rating based on 1,109 reviews, and a separate visitor write-up rated the 2025 season 4.5/5 after a full evaluation, praising the atmosphere, actors, and value. Treat these as general signals about the experience rather than a guarantee of any specific night — haunt quality varies with crowd size, weather, and which actors are working.
