Any day in Salem is fun but it's jam packed every w/e in October. Fun for some but not all. More

I've visited this area a couple of times on Halloween & as crazy as the size of the crowds can be, it's very much worth the visit. However, visiting this area at this time of year was simply sad. If I hadn't been here before, I probably would not have been able to find it. And once there, I had... More

The displays were not well done. I am not sure what I had been expecting, but it was not this! More

My husband and I came to salem a couple of times but never really did tours. We took the village tour and loved it. Our tour guide was a young girl who was informative and funny for her age. There were some cute things for sale in the gift shop. Almost bought a "demon baby" but it was a biy... More

I dont know what was worse....1) The cheesey and cheap "displays" assembled throughout this facility 2) the carless teenagers who run it 3) our crappy tour guide who was 17 and only talked about how bored she was and how badly she wanted to get off work and get high (I wish I was kidding!). Save your money...its not even... More

We were not knowing what to expect when we bought tickets.. we thought it may have been a recreation village etc.. it was just VERY cheaply put together displays that were probably furnished by high school children. The Information is erroneous at best. It "covers" witchcraft through the ages.. and ends with a dragon.... awful. WAY overpriced. More

We received tickets for this tour as a part of the Hysteria Pass purchased at the Salem Wax Museum across the street (discounted admission to both attractions). The tour included a guide who walked you through the exhibits, providing a brief history of the Salem Witch hysteria. The exhibits were average at best, however the information provided was good.

The Salem Witch Village takes you through a guided, indoor tour (not through a village) where they describe the roots and evolutionof witchcraft. Though some of the displays weren't that great, I thought the facts and little tidbits were interesting, a lot better than its sister museum that is across the little road there. More

Some reviews really panned this attraction but honestly, it wasn't bad at all in fact we got our very own tour as no one else purchased tickets by the time the next tour was ready. The guide did not cancel but gave us our own tour , she was very informative and I enjoyed this, you just didn't hear the... More
