Overview

Gather the whole family for a frightfully fun night on the Ghosts of Philadelphia Tour—where history and hauntings come together in the heart of the Historic District!

You'll wander the shadowy streets where spirits still stir, exploring some of the most haunted spots in Philadelphia. Along the way, you’ll hear true tales of restless ghosts, eerie encounters, and the spooky secrets of our Founding Fathers (turns out they left more behind than just documents…).

It’s the perfect mix of thrills, chills, and fascinating history—ideal for families looking to add a little ghostly fun to their Philly adventure.

If you have 10 or more guests in one group, please get in touch with the private & group sales coordinator with Ghost City Tours.
