Unfortunately the tours were booked, but I expected that since it was so close to Halloween. I went the day before Halloween to view the house and get pictures which was perfect since almost no one was there. Drove by again on Halloween day and it was packed! The Witch House is one of many beautiful historic stops in Salem. Would definitely recommend going to see it.

The two stars are for the attention of the lady who receives you who is wonderful, you pay 9 dollars and the tour is 3 minutes. I recommend you go to the museum. the outside is better. inside there is nothing to see, do not throw your money.

No photography allowed inside but wow what an amazing place. They have it filled with descriptive placards and did an amazing job of preserving the house interior to its originality. Fairly quick tour but very neat and informative for what its worth. Also for a very reasonable price.

We spent five busy days in Salem, and we both agree that this was the coolest thing that we did. Extremely well-preserved and informative. Equal parts entertaining and educational, definitely a must-visit if youre in the area! Tickets can be purchased online ahead of time which is always a plus. Staff was super kind and helpful!

The staff was nice but a little awkward. Explaining details about things that didn’t really seem relevant to the experience.Shop prices were amazingly inexpensive to what I expected. And I appreciated the time slots of ticket purchases that allowed me to visit other locations before my time slot happened.

Very interesting old historic house directly related to the witch trails. Only wish pictures of the inside were allowed as there was a lot of information i would have loved to read again. I also love colonial first period architecture so documenting the inside is important to me.Very beautiful house. I especially loved the last room, the great hall because it had the most information about the trial and witchcraft beliefs of the time. This was all really cool.Ive seen People here complain about how short it is but they dont rush you and its self guided. Well worth the money we paid!

Its an amazing look into the history of Salem and I love that about the house but pictures are not allowed inside. I wish the staff was a little more involved in explaining things and helping understand the history of the house.

This had all of the potential to be a great experience. Instead, the rude staff made me want to leave the house the moment I stepped in. They would yell at you if you entered the wrong room after not explaining where to go and in what order– mind you, after having described this as a self-guided tour. Probably the rudest people Ive ever come across. Not worth the money.

The Witch House was my favorite stop in Salem so far! Make sure you take advantage of the house guide, she had so much more insight into the history of Salem, the house, and the witch trials. I liked the availability of online ticket purchasing to get the time you wanted, and their practice of social distancing.

Eh. In pictures, it looks better. In person, its a lot smaller. I imagine in October, they set pumpkins out to add to the decor

Fascinating history. We had purchased our tickets online for the first tour. We had two different guides, one on the first floor and another on the second. Both were extremely knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. No photos are allowed inside the building. There is a small gift shop before you exit the building.

It was a little chilly today, but the garden is still beautiful!

It was a weird Halloween with covid but this place was crawling with karma. Glad we made the trip.

I have been here before and loved it, this last pass I tried to go in with my toddler and the employee there was so rude to me and my family that we asked for our money back, when we asked for our money back she screamed you can just get out and youre not getting nothing back! In front of my 3 year old....beyond unprofessional, Houses of the Seven Gables is a lot bigger, a lot cooler, on site parking and its CHEAPER! We called and left messages and couldnt even get a response from a manager or the owner. Very disappointing outcome.

Not worth the money at all. First of all they dont have a bathroom, which in such a busy area would be really helpful considering its a paid ticket. Secondly, we finished walking through the whole place in less than 15 minutes - its only 4 rooms or so. Yes, its interesting to see things, but it was quite random without a guided tour. The staff wasnt very welcoming; they just pointed us to the rooms and thats it. Photography isnt allowed, I dont know why. A great way to waste $11 per person - I dont recommend it at all. Tourist trap.

The Staff Was VERY Knowledgeable! I learned so many new things. Enjoy the modern day air conditioning as you step back in time.

Very interesting history. Staff were well-informed. Also friendly. We drove from Wester Mass. to visit this attraction. We were not disappointed. Parking was not difficult.

Glad the historical home was preserved so the history of the innocent lives taken at the hands of this hanging judge will live on.

We couldnt go in tickets werent available sold out an online only this year was amazed at the history in salem massachusetts!!

The house was interesting, we went to the very last opening of the day and my sister and I left like we were being rushed out. Someone turned the lasts off on us (which they apologized for) and then at the last room we were kinda asking questions and finishing up and the one woman asked if wed like you use the back or front exit.All in all cool house, couldve been an off day for them.

Though it didnt allow pictures inside, the history and the amount of actual artifacts from the original house is amazing!! A must see for any historian!!

Quick but fun good hustory . Nice lady answered all my questions

Freaky that the way things were here back then. Great place to visit. What an interesting experience that’s for sure.

A bit disappointed. The house is a historical home from the period and is furnished with period pieces. As many have said, it has nothing to do with witches and makes the name misleading. If you want to see a period house and furnishings, then you will like it. Based on their website and name, I was expecting more about the accused.

This place had nice displays and some information about the former inhabitants. There wasnt a guided tour, but you could hear the docents in each room starting conversations with guests and giving them some really interesting details about the house and its history. I really liked the exhibit in the second floor about corpse medicine.

Is amazing how much we can discover just going to the right place to learn

We didnt go it for a tour but did a walking tour and learned about the Salem witch house.

Amazing to see all the history from centuries ago! And 80% of the building is original still. We had a good time here even though not all of it was open due to covid 19.

Learned a lot and the people that worked there were nice

I loved this little museum. Great exhibits and excellent signage explaining what youre looking a It really feels like youve stepped back in time.

Loved the history and the house really takes you back in time.

Great piece of New England history. Book your tour in advance, though.

Very educational with a ton of timely pieces! Loved it!

I enjoyed the self tour, I got to look around and admire every corner of it. Highly recommend. Worth the small entrance fee.

Pretty neat to see how they lived back then. The staff just kind of awkwardly stood around and didnt seem to know their information when we asked questions

Not sure with their convoluted schedule. Didnt do the tour. If you plan to go book in advance. Or wait a couple hours to do the tour. We didnt wait!

People who work there really know their history. House is small, but it was mansion size for those days... if you are 6 ft tall you will feel cramped

Love anything historical. And in really like this particular historical era.

Definitely thought a witch may have lived here, though this is the home of a judge.

Lived my whole life in Salem and I can go there all the time still I love it

This was one of my favorite adventures on our trip! There’s so much American history in this house and it is definitely a must when planning a trip to Ma. There is a small fee to enter the house and took us about 45 minutes to an hour to tour. We lingered for much longer since it wasn’t that packed and the staff were very knowledgeable with the rich history here. There are no restrooms in the attraction and they ask everyone to turn the flash on their phones off.

One of the judges houses from the trial. Offers a glimpse at 17th century Salem, that is done tastefully. An extremely knowledgeable staff.

Oldest building Ive ever been in, helpful guides, and rich history. Pay the money.

Very cool! Awesome to see actual artifacts from that time and walk the house and see the rooms and set up. Would have been better to have a tour guide or someone explaining what things are they had people in there telling you where to start and end but could have been more informative other then reading little plaques next to things!

Really one of the few original historical sites left and with awesome people there

This is one of the few places that is still open during covid. Very interesting history inside and the staff were helpful and enthusiastic

The last known standing building linked directly to the Witch trials. A MUST DO when visiting Salem. You can feel the spookiness flowing throughout the house. Just opt out for the self guied tour as you are only able to visit 6 rooms. No reason you should pay an extra fee for a tour so short and little.

Very interesting to see such an old house. I wish we can take pics. We were told there were no bathrooms because the house is very old and didnt have bathrooms but i noticed a digital thermometer that had AC in there

Nice fall walk around the city of Salem. Great views.

I LOVED IT!!! The woman behind the counter was so friendly and knowledgeable. It is a beautiful house with such a sad history, but its also very informative! I highly recommend checking it out!

The Witch House is unbelievably incredible place! You can look at amazing things like yoke or chimney system. The old chair is especially cool which was brought from Europe. There is very professional staff.

Interesting but no photos or video allowed. I would’t have paid the money to enter. I like to photo all my trips

I am so in love with the Witches House and everything inside!!! Its Amazing!!

The inaptly named Witch House has its only ties to the Salem Witch Trials as being the home of Judge Jonathan Corwin. No one from the home was ever accused of being a witch. However, as the only structure still standing today that is related to the witch trials, it is an important piece of history. The rooms are laid out with authentic and replica pieces to demonstrate what colonial life was like. It is a nice little museum, and worthy of a visit to see how things used to be.

Informative. There is so much misunderstood about Salem in general but especially about the witches. Cool place and this time of year Halloween- you have more vendors, shops, food, shows, walks, history tours. Its a good time to go and just be ready for spotty parking and a lot of people.

Was very interesting. Little pricey though

It was very informative. Got to read fast and make sure to watch where you are going because the spaces are small

Well maintained cottage with props from or based on the period. Less of a museum, as the artifacts arent only on shelves or set up on walls, but the furniture is set up exactly as they would have been. Some reading, but there are also charming staff available for any questions, or even additional information if you dont know what to ask.

Very historical accurate. There is a saying sometimes when you enter the kids room you can be hit with a sudden anxiety or overwhelmed feeling of needing to leave the room.

Very cool to finally see this place in person. So much history in salem. Overall, October is a month long Halloween party, if thats not your thing, go during the slow season to see the historic side of salem

Loved it! Not thrilled about the admission charge (could be half the cost) but absolutely thrilled that we got to experience a place that is incredibly historic. Amazing!

My heart belongs in Salem... this place has a really cool history & my life feels more complete seing this house.... especially in October

Very historical and really cool people that work there

Very nice building and gift shop, the presentation and explanation were both factual to history and well explained, the only draw backs are, if your looking for artifacts to see youll be disappointed as there isnt any.The plus side is, you can drive around and check out the landmarks used in Disneys movie Hocus Pocus

Great way to explore the history and beauty of Salem, Mass.

Knowledgeable and friendly staff to answer all your questions.

Great self guided tour. Home of one of the judges of the Salem Witch Trials. Built in the 1600s. A must see in Salem!

We had a lot fun wondering around and seeing the different places. There were a lot of high and drunk people but we went later in the day.

THE PLACE IS VERY SPOOKY

Neat and quirky. Very interesting.

Great stop for historians and spook lovers alike! Must stop if you are here for the witch history! I really enjoyed the medicine section.

Great history love the feel of the old house

A nice glance back in time

Amazing historical residence (feels kinda like Skyrim) with great text everywhere. Theyre especially good at connecting the historical events to modern times. You walk away with a very real sense that the witch trials could happen again if were not vigilant.

The Witch House is a must see if you visit Salem for the Halloween season. A quick but interesting walk through, gives you the impression of what it was like to live back then.

Out of all the historical places I visited in Salem, the Witch House seemed to contain the most artifacts of all. Taking a self-guided tour, my friend and I saw everyday objects from that period, such as eating utensils and furniture, but also bones and other items. The house itself is also from that time, you can truly feel the history contained inside.

Was a awsome tour and would do it again in a heart beat. Worth the money.

The best part was the architecture of the house. The museum was not that great, nothing terribly interesting. Wont take long to walk thru, so if you just really have to go, just go and take 30 minutes and do it. But if you miss it, youre alright, dont stress out about it. Even just taking pictures from the outside to just say you were there is probably ok. Was ok overall, would not go back tho.

Very cool experience. Friendly staff, very informative. Location was closed but a woman who works there was kind enough to give us a brief history of the location and advised us to the visit the The Burying Point.

Well kept. I want to thank thw lady in the gift shop. She recommended some great places around town. Watch your step going up the stairs. They do get steep. The things in the house are well managed and informative. There apparently is a 3rd floor but its not tour safe. They do have a gift shop you can get small things in. I wanna say we paid $8 per adult. Not bad. Theres Ropes Mansion next door and a beautiful church.

Cool house! Lots of stuff to check out. Kind of packed but what do you expect in Salem near Halloween? Also a little pricey to get in for what you see. Still, really cool.

Just alot of tourists, was hard to get photos.

Dont skip this beautiful experience! Its Definitely worth your money!! We learned so much here. Staff was super friendly and shared so much information. You can feel the energy in the house.

Small but beautifull historic site. Must see when in Salem, because the witches and all

The lady with the terrible purple hair who stands in the front yard barking at people is the worst thing about this place.Beware witches (with a B) are real.

So much history. Fascinating to learn about life during that time. We went the week before Halloween so it was super crowded, but otherwise a good experience.

Very nice from outside... Did not get a chance to do tour

Lovely historical home, and the garden is amazing

Small little shop when you first walk in. I paid in cash but I cant remember if it was because thats all they accepted, or its just what I chose to do. Some really old furniture and house fixtures, with plaques having accurate information about the witch trials and the beliefs in and around herbs etc. Lots of questions for introspection.

Excellent little museum in a house that is 300 plus years old. It doesnt really have any witch connections other than it belonged to one of the judges. But the staff is fantastic and you can get a great education on what life was like in the Massachusetts Bay New England colony during the late 16 hundreds. Even for a wealthy family it was so amazingly tough.

This was an awesome place to visit and the staff was so nice and extremely helpful. There is also a small gift shop right when you walk into the house. There is quite a bit of information in this little house. I would definitely be back again.

The Witch House has plenty of items to see and read. Tons of history to be learned here. Did you know that used to drink warm human blood for epilepsy? And also moss that grew on the skulls of the dead for other cures.

My family really enjoyed this authentic experience. Its a peak into that lost world of Salem 1692.

I love all the woodwork and so much to do

It was amazing...very educational

Best experience. It was so cool.

Pretty cool to check out. Only $8.25 to get in.

If you are into history of any kind this is a place to visit. This town is so rich with history. I will be making a second trip to return soon

Loved the historic visuals! Staff was friendly and the place is a bit spooky.

It was full of good information and we enjoyed stopping by. If you want to learn more about the Witch Hunts, we would recommend this place. There is a parking lot a block away that you have to pay for, but it doesnt cost much.
