Salem, Massachusetts, a town etched into American history for its 1692 witch trials, offers a unique outdoor family adventure through the shadowy corners of its eerie past. Salem Kids Tours specializes in a Kids' Ghost Tour designed specifically for children ages 7 and up, striking a balance between spooky storytelling and fun, all without the chilling nightmares.
