Tour Type: A ghost-themed walking tour, with ghost hunting, through the pitch dark streets of historic Naperville.
Length: Approximately 100 minutes. There is about 1/3 mile of walking involved.
Cost: We are currently in our pre-season, so a $5 discount per ticket applies. Therefore, tickets are only $20 each. All tours through August will receive the discount. Tours in our season (Sept. & Oct.) are the regular $25 per person cost.
All stated costs are final costs; no other fees or taxes are added. Ticket pre-purchase is NOT required, pay at event with cash. If you prefer, you may pre-purchase your tickets over the phone, with a charge/debit, no less than 24 hours prior to departure time.

Other important stuff:
Start Place: We meet at the military statue at the entrance to Central Park. Use the Google Map teardrop at the top of this app, or use this address in your GPS: 50 S. Washington St. Naperville IL. 60540. (Tour starts across Washington St. from Catch-35 restaurant.)
Parking: Lots of free and safe parking available. The most convenient garage is at 5 W. Benton St., behind Catch-35 restaurant.
Ghosts Following You?: No, a ghost can't and won't follow you home from this event (that's just Hollywood).
Weather Concerns: If it's lightly raining (without lightning) the tour will still go on, you may cancel your reservation if you'd like to. If, for safety reasons, we are forced to cancel, we'll let you know (using the phone # you supplied). If the outside temp is cool be sure to dress for the weather because it will get even cooler as night deepens.
Restrooms: Due to Covid, the park restroom has been closed and locked. Thankfully though there are decent port-a-potties available near our starting place.
Camera Use: We allow photo cameras / Smartphones at the tour, as well as ghost hunting gear (EMF Meter, Ghost Radar, etc). No recording allowed, audio or video.
Dining / Night Clubs: There are lots of great restaurants / clubs within a very short walk from the tour. Due to Co-vid1984 restrictions, we recommend that you call them for their current dining policy. Their phone numbers and website links are HERE.
Co-Vid 19 Guide: Because we are an outside event, the CDC does not require that masks be worn. As far as social distancing, because we are group of people, and we are frequently walking together as a group, we have no way to constantly enforce social distancing.
Trouble Makers: In order to guarantee a safe and pleasant tour for everyone, anyone causing problems, will leave the tour, without a refund.
Tour Reviews: There are countless reviews and endorsements over the years. Visit our Tour Review page HERE.
Don't let our charming and historic landscape fool you - the streets, buildings, even the park, seethe with the restless spirits of the city's past inhabitants -- and we will leave no tombstone unturned introducing you to all of them. We're gonna have so much... fun.

"Tonight's tour is about real ghosts. There are no actors here - no script. There are no props, no tricks. The spirits are real, restless, and active - tonight we will visit their dwelling places, tonight we will be the intruders. Welcome, everyone, to haunted Naperville."
