Overview

This experience is for kids age 6-14. Meets at 18 Broad St. Salem. All of the guides are certified teachers who hold Master's degrees in education.
This all-outdoor tour combines true tales from Salem’s past with some mild spooky stories just for kids age 6+. The aim is not to scare the heck out of your kids, but to provide a little shiver and bit of mystery. This tour follows a route that is near the downtown, but it’s a little off the beaten path, very picturesque, and you’ll feel as if you stepped back in time. The tour ends at the Witch House.
For over twelve years, parents traveling with kids have chosen Salem Kids Tours for a fun, well-researched and fascinating trip through time. Many times we have heard from kids, “I didn’t want the tour to end.” Parents have described the tours as the highlight of their trip to Salem. We are happy to show you around. We love kids, we understand their unique needs, and we look forward to meeting you on one of the tours.

What's Included

  • All of our guides are teachers.
  • The tour is all outdoors. We do not enter any buildings.
  • Not recommended for children under the age of six
