It’s October and you want to visit the Salem Witch Museum!
Here are some tips to secure your admission and have a great time at one of Salem’s busiest museums.
Visit the Haunted Happenings website for more information about planning your trip to Salem!
- Tickets go on sale at 10PM the night before you wish to visit and are only available for purchase through our website. Tickets are not available in advance or for purchase at the door.
- Once you've purchased your ticket, check your e-mail and make note of the time that you need to arrive to check-in. If you do not see your e-mail, check your spam or junk folder. There is a check-in line at the front of the building where your QR/scan code(s) will be scanned in and you'll receive your physical ticket. We recommend taking a screenshot of your QR/scan code(s).
- Check your ticket for the check-in time and arrive at this time promptly. We must minimize the number of visitors on the front plaza and you may be asked to wait until your allotted check-in time if you arrive early.
- Allow one hour and fifteen minutes for your visit at this time of the year.
- The museum is housed in a historic building with limited space. Please travel as lightly as possible and be aware that there is no stroller parking, coat or bag check, or dedicated space to store other belongings. While strollers are able to come through the museum, please be aware that they must be kept with you at all times and navigation may be difficult. Wagons and luggage are not allowed in the museum and bags may be subject to search.
- Both exhibit spaces are equipped with elevators for those using mobility devices. Please note that although Salem is pedestrian-friendly, as a historic city, many sidewalks are quite narrow and made of cobblestone or loose brick. Keep this in mind if you or someone in your party is using a mobility device.
- Scripts for visitors who are deaf or hard of hearing are available upon request.
- During the month of October, traffic is very heavy coming into the city and parking is extremely limited. Driving to Salem is not recommended. If you must drive, be prepared to add an extra two to three hours to your travel time for increased traffic. Plan accordingly when selecting your ticket time.
- If you are late or miss your presentation, we cannot accommodate you, and there are no refunds as we save your space for the time of your purchase.
- In case of severe weather, consult the homepage "Special Alert Banner" for the latest information on hours of operation.
- Enjoy your time in our historic city.
