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.
