Experience the hysteria of the 1692 Salem Witch Trials at Salem Witch Museum. Stage sets, lifesize statues, and live guides take you through the process of the trials. You will learn how these accusations occurred, how they affected the town, and the tragedy of the executions. An exhibit on different cultures' perceptions of witchcraft and the evolution of these perceptions helps put the trials in context. Afterward, you can peruse witch-related souvenirs, such as pagan jewelry, books about the trials, or a mystical witch's ball. By using our Salem trip planner, you can arrange your visit to Salem Witch Museum and other attractions in Salem.

Total waste of time and money. Did not learn anything. Unpleasant staff rushed us through. Don't bother.

My family and I expected maybe a little more for such a famous museum but it was still a good experience and history. The presentation is different and definitely not boring (if you have good imagination that is). Bought the tickets online only, it took about 3 to 5 minutes right at the entrance line.

The Salem Witch Museum is a beautiful building. The actual tour is just OK compared to everything else offered in Salem Massachusetts. My teens enjoyed it, but were quickly done and ready to go on to the next thing. When sitting, be prepared to have to do a 360 turn. The round stools look easier than the benches were. When we visited tickets were only able to be purchased online with specific entry times.

While not a traditional museum, I still found the Salem Witch Museum worth visiting. The first room may be a little outdated, and the audio a little too loud at times, but it gives you a good story readout of what happened. I could have done without having to stand around in the second room, and found it got a bit too warm with so many people standing about. Great gift store worth visiting, even if you don’t get a ticket to the attraction.

😁 fun with my granny. It was a great experience. Not what I expected. I thought it was going to be a museum where we read and see things , but it's something u sit and listen to an audio. It's cool but I'm more of a visual person rather then listening.

I found this to be the perfect place to learn about history with my baby who is 5 months old! It was mostly an audio tour. My daughter enjoyed the lights and occasionally looked to me for reassurance that everything was ok. The employees were nice and offered to help carry her stroller at every stairway. I am unsure if I would bring someone fully handicapped there due to the stairs.
