An orange school bus drives down a street on a spooky Halloween night, with a full moon, bats flying, and silhouetted trees against a cloudy sky. A figure in a hooded cloak stands by a stop sign with pumpkins on the side of the road, and a dark, imposing building looms in the background.

Quick Actions

Tips & Advice

  • Arrive at The Detroit History Club at least 30 minutes before your tour's departure time to check in and relax, as late arrivals will not be admitted.
  • Dress appropriately for the weather and wear comfortable, flat shoes, as you'll be walking up to 200 yards and a portion of the tour is outdoors.
  • Bring cash for any alcoholic beverages you wish to purchase at the refreshment stop, as the bar is cash-only.
  • Save your order confirmation email, as it serves as your only ticket; be prepared to show it on your phone or printed.
  • This is a historical tour focused on spooky narratives, not a ghost hunting expedition, so leave paranormal investigation equipment at home.
