The Official Silent Hill Tourist Guide:

Looking for an escape from the daily grind, or perhaps a place to lose yourself—literally and figuratively? Well, you've come to the right place! Welcome to Silent Hill, the town that puts "haunting" in "hauntingly beautiful."

Welcome to Silent Hill

Getting There

To reach this fog-filled wonderland, you’ll need more than just a GPS (not that it works here anyway). Silent Hill is a destination for those with reasons to be there—whether you’re drawn by unresolved guilt, a mysterious letter from a loved one, or just a nagging sense that your demons are waiting for a reunion. If you don't have a reason to visit, don't worry, the town will probably find one for you.

Silent Hill, for those of you who enjoy the scenic route, is conveniently located just a short and disorienting drive from anywhere! The roads may be a little winding, but don't worry—if you miss your exit, you'll probably end up right where you need to be anyway.

Accommodations: A Room with a View (kinda)

Silent Hill has no shortage of cozy (and a little eerie) places to rest after a day of confronting your personal nightmares or after running from them! From luxurious lakeside views to charming roadside motels, there are accommodation options for every type of tortured soul.

Let’s take a look at what Silent Hill offers:

Lake View Hotel

For those seeking a more refined getaway (or a confrontation with deeply buried regrets), look no further than the Lake View Hotel on the shores of Toluca Lake. This historic hotel offers dining at the elegant Lake Shore Restaurant and a spot for a cocktail at the bar.

Rooms are equipped with everything you need for a restful stay, including the wonderfully nostalgic touch of a VHS player! Feeling bold? Pop in an old tape and see what forgotten memories might resurface!

I also highly recommend booking Room 312. This suite has a history of helping guests reconnect with... you know... the more complicated parts of their past.

Jack’s Inn

For travelers looking for a no-nonsense, roadside rest stop, Jack’s Inn offers quaint accommodations with an unsettling charm. Each room features a stiff king or queen-sized bed (perfect for those who prefer not to get too comfortable), along with a color TV that broadcasts... something. And don’t worry about losing track of time or, you know, your sanity, every room comes with its very own save point.

Haerbey Inn

Located near the resort area, Haerbey Inn is a classic American roadside motel with an uncomfortable balance of ick and unease. Just a short walk from both the amusement park and Old Silent Hill, its vintage exterior may remind you of simpler times, but the eerie quiet interior tells a different story. Haerbey Inn is perfect for travelers as well as those who want to rent and get free cable!

Local Attractions:

Silent Hill offers a variety of unique attractions for the intrepid tourist... or anyone stuck here with nowhere else to go. Whether you're seeking lakeside tranquility, retail therapy, or something a little more... risqué, Silent Hill has you covered.

Toluca Lake
Need a peaceful moment of reflection? Toluca Lake is your ideal destination! This fog-covered lake is perfect for serene boat rides, introspective gazing, or confronting the horrors of your past. Whether you're here to enjoy nature or solve the mystery of what’s lurking in the fog, Toluca Lake has that certain.... something, that’s hard to resist.

Central Square Shopping Center
Just a stone’s throw from Silent Hill, the Central Square Shopping Center serves as a hub for those brave enough to venture out. With five department stores and its very own subway station stop on the bottom floor, it’s a shopper’s paradise—if your paradise includes a little rusty retail therapy.

My Bestsellers Bookstore offers a wide selection of reads while you are in town. If you are hungry, you can find great eats at Happy Burger. And, if you’re not afraid of carbs, you can also stop by Helen’s Bakery for a bite of.. well... it’s bread.

The odd emptiness of this shopping mall and it's eerie silence add a unique flavor to your shopping experience!

Lakeside Amusement Park
If you’re craving some lighthearted fun with a dash of existential dread, Lakeside Amusement Park is the place to be! The park features a variety of attractions including a Ferris Wheel, the towering and thrilling Mountain Coaster, and the well-worn slightly rusty-looking Happy Carousel!

And who could forget the park’s adorable, yet unsettling, mascot: Robbie the Rabbit! Keep an eye out for Robbie as you explore, though his stare might make you wish you hadn't.

Whether you're here for fun or for an experience that will haunt you long after you leave, Lakeside Amusement Park promises a Day of Night that you won’t soon forget!

Heaven's Night
For those looking to unwind after a long day, Heaven's Night is the strip club where the drinks are cold, and the atmosphere is... well, a bit different these days. Here, you might catch a glimpse of Maria, the lovely dancer who bears an uncanny resemblance to someone that you know very dearly.

If you’re in the mood for a refreshment, Heaven's Night boasts the best Toluca Light beer in town, served ice cold to help wash away your sorrows (or bring them to the surface).

Pete's Bowl-O-Rama
Located conveniently near Rosewater Park, Pete's Bowl-o-rama is the perfect spot to escape the chaos outside. Whether you’re looking to roll some strikes (or gutter balls), grab a quick drink from the ever-reliable vending machine, or simply sit there and eat pizza while the world spirals into madness, this bowling alley has you covered—at least until the next fog rolls in!

What to Pack:

In Silent Hill, the weather is foggy... always. So, while you might want to pack a jacket to keep warm, there are a few other essential items you’ll want to have handy to survive your stay. Here’s our recommended packing list for your trip to this charmingly haunted town:

• A flashlight for both literal and psychological darkness. You never know when you’ll need to illuminate the shadows lurking in the corners of your mind or simply find your way out of a creepy alley.

• Sturdy footwear. Whether you’re sprinting away from your past or navigating through dark and rusty environments, comfort and durability are your priority.

• A map or something to write on. You’ll probably get lost, but jotting down your thoughts and places you have been might provide some peace of mind—take what you can get around here.

• A strong sense of denial. Embracing the seeming insanity of your surroundings is essential for maintaining hope.

Welcome to Silent Hill

Silent Hill is the perfect destination for anyone looking to confront their deepest fears, unresolved guilt, or strange fascination with fog.

For the perfect soundtrack to accompany your stay, listen to the haunting and trip-hop-infused sounds by Akira Yamaoka featured in the barSILENCE episode titled “Welcome to Silent Hill.” These tunes will surely be the perfect companion to your experience as you wander through the unsettling beauty of this town—because nothing sets the mood quite like the sound of creeping existential dread.

Remember this, though: you don’t leave Silent Hill the same way you arrived. Or maybe you don’t leave at all! Either way, you’re in for a memorable stay.
