Attraction Descriptions

Salem Wax Museum of Witches and Seafarers is an open gallery style wax museum, which features 50 London made wax figures. The scenes in our galleries depict pinnacle figures and situations in Salem's history from its founding in 1626 through to Hysteria of 1692 and into the Mercantile trade of the 18th century. The galleries lead down into the interactive area which gives you the opportunity to learn nautical knot tying, do grave stone rubbing on recreated headstone from our landmark Charter Street Burying Point or you can get a first hand experience of detention during the Witch Hysteria by being locked in our life-size recreated jail cell. Salem Witch Village
The Salem Witch Village is a 15 min guided tour concerning the myth versus the reality of witchcraft in both the ancient and modern world. Your tour guide, who is also a practicing witch, will take you through our indoor maze and demonstrate scenes that mark important landmarks in Witchcraft history. The tour discusses the origin of stereotypes such as devil worship, flying on brooms and black cats, different persecution periods such as the Salem Witch Trials and the Burning Times of Europe as well clarifies what it really means to be a witch today
October & Special Request Attractions
During the month of October our prices do change and we offer a variety of different ticket packages to accommodate the six attractions we run during that month. If you are interested in booking during the month of October we strongly suggest that you contact the museum ahead of time so we can offer you the best possible package to accommodate your groups needs.
Frankenstein’s Laboratory:
Salem's newest haunted attraction is inspired by the classic period of literary horror. Step into the lower dungeon of the Salem Wax Museum and enter the notorious dungeon of Dr. Frankenstein. Wind your way through the dark, curving hallways and see the darkest side of a madman's quest to create a most horrid monster. Please use discretion when purchasing tickets for children.
The Haunted Witch Village:
At night in October the Witches and Guardians leave the Village and the darker side of our maze comes alive. Our museum goes haunted with ghouls, goblins and all matters of things that go bump in the night. Salem's longest running and largest haunted attraction.
Candlelit Ghostly Walking Tour:
This half-hour walk through the streets of Historic Salem takes you to many of our most haunted houses and locations.
