witch dungeon museum印象

but it was just okay, with a brief live performance of a trial and a very brief tour of a recreation of the dungeon that held people accused of witchery. The museum should not be in need of repair or updating while charging up to $8 a person.

We're Salem residents and attended this museum last about 6 years ago. We had a friend from out of state visit during October, so we took her through this museum because we remembered it was one of the better ones. Well, we were wrong! Times have changed apparently. Twice through the re-enactment the actress forgot her lines, chuckled to herself out of embarrassment and took a couple minutes to regroup. Twice! The information stated about Gallows Hill is inaccurate. Simple research - REAL research, not the internet - will show you Gallows Hill has not been confirmed and is only speculated upon regarding the location of it. Also, the original witch dungeon location is at the corner of St. Peter's and Federal Streets. The way our actress answered the question was that it was closer to "downtown, near where the Witch House stands". Really, guys? This type of inaccurate information is uncalled for, and it's so simple to put some facts together. On top of it all, the person taking the tickets at the door was extremely terse, snapping at people who were confused while they tried to cram 50 people into the tiny waiting area. At least you're not the only museum who forgot their lines this season!

I would rate this as enjoyable and not over priced.The tour starts with a reenactment of a witch trial that is better acted than you would expect.You then go into the basement where they have an OK reproduction of the dungeon where accused witches were kept. According to the narration, the original dungeon was found and measured back in the 1950's. Apparently the Social Security building on Federal Street was built over the dungeon site.Worth the price but not much more.

Good information about that time in history, and great reenactment of a period in time that was so eerily out of control. The information on the housing for those accused, and to see the size and condition that the cells most likely were kept in was a reminder of how inhumane man could be to man/woman. Sadly that legacy continues in many parts of the world.

This was a waste of our day, as it seemed as the whole thing was rushed to get a school group of girls out of it. This means that although the re-enactment was average the actual tour and information was hastily given without anyone taking it in. Overall the tour was ok but as Salem is not a place to be. This place is a must avoid.

Not really a museum. The visit starts with a brief theatrical performance of one of the witch trials, followed by a walk through the dungeons. Some good Halloween fun accompanied by a bit of history!

This museum is made up of mannequin dressed sets which are narrated by a young kid with enough interesting information to make it worth the $. I think the other witch museum was better!

The love performance was nice but the museum itself was very outdated. The displays weren't as good as I thought. It was the best of all the museums though.

This museum reenacts the Salem witch trials from the beginning of the false accusations to the terrible end. It is well narrated and quite gripping, providing a glimpse into a terrifying, historical event. A good education experience for children to " live" history. The tour afterwards is equally well done with a live narrator, however, it is too brief and I wish there were more artifacts to see, but it was definitely worth the visit over the Christmas Holidays.

This was part of a set of three attractions, none of which were any good. There was a long wait before the "show" which was just a bit of scripted dialogue, then we went down to the recreated dungeons and out. Not worth the price of admission.
