Tips & Advice

  • Buy tickets online at least one day ahead because tours are reservation-only.
  • Book with another person or know that a single-ticket booking may be cancelled if nobody else books for the same date and time; tours require at least two guests and hold up to six.
  • Choose between the 90-minute, 2-hour, and 3-hour tours based on how long you want to investigate; extended tours include a previously sealed section.
  • Plan for three flights of stairs: the building has no working elevator and the tour is not wheelchair accessible.
  • Guests under 18 need a parent or guardian, and parents should consider their child’s readiness; sales are final, with no refunds if someone stops early.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Ghost tours are not conducted on nights when the haunted attraction is open.
  • An Extended Tour is available separately and includes extra time in a portion of the second floor previously sealed off to hotel guests.
  • A 3-Hour Extended Tour is available separately for a longer investigation.
  • Returning guests can skip the history portion and spend more time investigating.
