Frequently Asked Questions

Do you go inside any of the haunted buildings?

Can I bring my pet?

Service animals are welcome. However, for liability reasons, please leave other furry friends at home.

Is this ghost tour kid-appropriate?

While not graphic, the historical subject matter and dark humor may not be suitable for children under 12. They do not recommend strollers due to potential difficulties with larger groups.

What if I'm late or cannot find my guide?

Tours cannot wait more than 10 minutes for late arrivals. Reschedules are available if the date is not sold out, but prompt communication is appreciated.
