Salem Kids Tours
About
Salem Kids Tours offers walking tours of Salem designed for children and families, led entirely by certified Massachusetts teachers. Middle school history teacher Alicia Diozzi created the company to make history engaging for kids, combining true stories and a bit of mystery with storytelling that keeps children involved. Content is kid-appropriate, the pace suits little legs, and the tours give a kid’s-eye view of the city’s past.
Two hour-long tours are offered. The History and Mystery Tour covers the real story of the witch trials, mysterious escapes and secret histories, and makes a good orientation to downtown for first-time visitors, with a stop at one Hocus Pocus film site. The Slightly Spooky History Tour follows an off-the-beaten-path route with mild ghost stories, witch hysteria tales and a visit to a witch trials judge’s grave. Many families book both.
