Overview

This tour combines true tales from Salem’s past with some mild ghost stories just for kids age 6+. Our aim is not to scare the heck out of your kids, but to provide a little shiver and bit of mystery for kids who like ghost stories. We are also telling you intriguing historical facts as well. 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 our historic and creepy Broad Street Cemetery, which was established in 1655. Meets at 316 Essex Street.
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 our 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 our tours.

We did this tour with our 10 year old twins and it was great! We live just a few towns away from Salem, but this was our first time bringing our boys. Being local, I have experienced other walking tours of Salem pre-kids which were great, but would have been way too long and tedious for the kid...

This tour was fun for our whole family (parents and two kids, ages 6 and 10). The tour guide is a sixth-grade teacher and she really knows how to talk to kids to interest and involve them. But the information was fun and interesting for adults too. The tour lasts about an hour and is mostly flat ...

I had a blast with my 8 year old. It was a great review of the last 400 years, not just the Salem witch trials. Alicia was very nice and a great guide - energetic and informative.

We did the walking history tour with a 14, 12 and 7 year old boys, and a 20 month old toddler. Alicia was great, and kept everyone engaged for the entire tour (adults included). If we make our way back to Salem we would definitely consider taking the Slightly Spooky Tour.
