Salem 13 Ghosts

Road Trip: Salem

October 9, 2011

Haunted houses aren't exactly kid friendly, from what I have experienced.  But, my kids have been dying to go to one, as they are a bit older. We definitely wanted to see if we could find one in Salem and what we found was perfect!

Salem's 13 Ghosts offers an unusual type of haunted house, as it is in 3D!  Perfect for kids 6 and older (although our 5 year old did great!), you put on a pair of 3D glasses and work your way through the building.  You aren't quite sure what is an illusion or what is real, as there are real people and things intermixed with the amazing special effects.  The black lit rooms and illuminated holograms and images throughout the haunted house were the perfect thrill for each of us.  We had such a fun time participating in this great haunt.

This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip, as it was something we had never done before. It was a blast and I highly recommend it for your family when you visit Salem!

To find out how to purchase tickets, which is definitely recommended, visit their website. In addition to the 3D haunted house, ghosts tours are available for the older, braver crowd. The location is right in the heart of Salem, making it a very convenient stop along the way!
