Concur with the other reviews. informational reenactment of a trial followed by a trip to the basement. If they put 2 or three of these small attractions together they would have something.

Even little children were not impressed with this cheap show. Although I live in the Boston afrea I'm unhappy that the Salem "witch" area is not demonstared better. A little more thought - please!

the little play at the begining was very good and the tour was good , the tour was a bit to short but still very interesting ,

They do a reenactment of a Salem witch trial and then take you down into the dungeon. The reenactment is informative. The dungeon is a replica. My friend's 9 yr old was with us and was a little scared but he did ok. The employees are super nice.

As other reviewers have said, this is not really a museum per se. It is quite entertaining though. From the opening dramatic reenactment to the dungeon tour, you will learn a lot of fun facts here.

It is nice (and historically accurate) that the Witch Dungeon would speculate... More

Probably one of the better ways to get some nsight into the Witch Trials - different and informative. Museum provides an interesting story of the Trials and has various phsical objects used during them. Hear the words of the prosecutors and the accusers and the accused and imagine yourself as a front row witness to the events.
