Visiting in October?
Haunted Happenings makes October Salem’s busiest month

Book early, plan to walk (downtown traffic is heavy and some streets close for events), and reserve popular attractions in advance. Our guests get free on-street parking near the duplex with no October restrictions. October tips →
