I'm a teacher and The Crucible is regularly on my to do list. I always make my child do historical elements wherever we go. I think this is a solid retelling of the history for someone who isn't familiar with what happened. If you are already in the know, it may be something you skip in favor of more traditional historical sites. I think it's great for what it as long as you know that going in. I enjoyed it even with my knowledge.

We weren’t sure what we were getting into whenever we went. The first room, the idea is there, but not the execution. The room layout where you sit is not great for being able to see everything, and some of the lights were not working. The gift shop isn’t big enough to also be a waiting area for 15 minutes. The second room was better, but still left a lot to be desired for the price. It was nice to get out of the rain for 45 minutes though!

I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting from the museum, but I'm sure it is not what we got. The start is you sitting in a large room with a story being told by lighting up some (pretty poor looking) lifesize dummies around the room. Then leading you in to another room with a few exhibits of how witches have been portrayed in the media. It's a solid "meh" from me

Very informative, most of it is audio recorded then someone takes you around into a room for more of a guided history and drops you off in the gift shop. It was nice, not the best but I’d say one time through is a great for info! I would recommend it.

We feel the museum could be set up better. For the first part there is seating for people, but unless you are sitting exactly in the middle you cannot see everything around the room as you need to turn your body in order to see what is going on. After the 1st part they lead you into the bookstore/merch shop for 10-15 minutes for an "intermission". Then lead you into a room where you have to stand for the rest of the time 15-20 minutes maybe. There is a timeline on the wall that you can read, but they really don't give you any time in that small area to do so as they are continually shuffling groups through the building. Our party really expected more out of this experience; it fell short. If we ever came back to Salem, we would not do this again and do not recommend it to others.

I came here about 10 yrs ago with my mother. We enjoyed it. I am hsre now with my husband who has never been to salem. Well we will NOT be visiting this attraction due to the fact you need to buy tickets ahead of time which only go onsale day of at 12;02am each morning meanwhile other same day attractions go on sale 8am. By time i got up today and went on at 7 am they were almost sold out. I am on vacation, sorry not getting up at midnight to go to this non museum that I see hasnt gotton the best of reviews laitly. It is a shame.

So looking forward to it, so disappointed. This is old fashioned, with knackered old mannikins that have been there since the trials themselves. INVEST FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE. 80 people sitting in one big room, with 13 fixed cubicles high above and around you, some you cannot see from your chosen seat unless you are smack in the middle of the room and everyone had to swivel in their seat to see them during the 'presentation', which was opened by a middle aged introducer woman who ummed an aahed without really knowing what she was saying. If you have the faintest knowledge of the Salem witch hysteria you will learn nothing. Second room was overshadowed by the following group's announcer shouting at the top of her voice at her waiting masses such that we could not hear what our recorded presentation was saying. Really unprofessional. Good job it was only $17.50. Eighty people every 15 minutes for hours a day for months on end. Monster cash cow. Just don't. My shoulders are sagging with unfulfilled anticipation! Unfortunately the whole of Salem is a tacky tourist honey trap. Good, cheap and easy train connections from Boston, but trains kept being cancelled.

I was excited to take my 11 year old to this. He did learn a lot from the story telling about the Salem Witch trials, but overall this could be so much better. They need some updating. The crowd standing outside to wait to get it made it seem like a "must-see" attraction. But unfortunately was a disappointment.

If you know your Witch Trial History save your money! Museum is NOT what this is. The presentation in the 1st segment is the best thing about it. There is a gift shop you can visit without going into the “museum” for the entrance fee.

This was disappointing. Not incredibly expensive for 2 of us, but still disappointing and felt a waste of our time and money. We really expected a bit of a museum, not just going into a room, sitting on horrible small round stools while listening to a narrated history, along with illuminating "still shot type displays". Then in the 2nd room, it's another automatic narration of some displays, but here you had to stand. We got way more information in our historical walking tour. The outside of the building is definitely cool to see, but don't have high expectations when you go in. Just our humble review.
