Save Your Money
Whaley Housethe tour guide starts by telling you how Waley was always looking for an angle to use the house to make money , or that there might have been people hanged on the property. What isn’ staid is a single detail of a “haunting” or paranormal activity. Even when asked, the guide (not really a guide, just lets you in the door) can’t give an example or describe why it’ “haunted”. There is nothing about this property that indicates anything other than the Whaley spirit of making money off the building continues. Save your money and 15 minutes Use it for the Midway instead this was a waste of both
Okay for history
ElleWent to this attraction thinking we would be really amazed and blown away but what we got was more like a history lesson and got to look around in all the rooms. Nothing really exciting. They say they have things at night, which may be more exciting but if you're looking for horror, impossible interactions this is not for you, but if you are a history junkie, you may enjoy
Pretty ok
DolfanEdKind of interesting and weird. Some cool things from the past.
OK with the City Pass
DougGlad we had the city pass. I would have been disappointed if I had paid extra for this. Easy to miss. Easy to do in a few minutes with the pass.
