Absolute disappointment - user review

Cheesy but good for kids - user review
Like many of the other reviews stated, this is not a museum as the name implies. It's one big room where everyone files in and sits down then a voice narrates the events that unfolded lead...

Fun, Eerie, and Accurate. - user review

The show at the beginning with the puppets was kind of entertaining, but nevertheless flawed. The second part of the museum was a waste of time. If you really know anything ...

Accurate and dramatic - user review
Of all the tours and museums in Salem that depict the events of 1692, this is the most accurate. It isnt a museum but more of a show with a dramatic narration. I can see why some...

Hey! Where's the museum? - user review

Save your $$ - user review
I am normally a huge fan of silly tourist attractions, so I thought the Salem Witch Museum would be right up my alley. I wouldn't really call it a museum either. You go into an old chu...

Oldy, but a goody - user review
I went to the Salem Witch Museum in December 2005 and had a great time, so I was surprised to see so many terrible reviews. The witch museum really only contains two exhibit rooms an...

This is one of the most memorable attractions in eastern Massachusetts -- both interesting and scary. The main draw of the museum (a former church) is a three-dimensional audiovisual presentation with life-size figures. The show takes place in a huge r...
