Best Ghost Tours for Families

Family-friendly walking tours suitable for guests of all ages. Every tour on this page is rated low on the scare scale and recommended explicitly for families with young kids or teens.

44 tours across 41 cities

At Ghost City Tours, we believe a great ghost story belongs to everyone — including the youngest members of your family. Our family-friendly tours are built around real local history and the kind of spine-tingling legends that spark a kid’s imagination without ever crossing into genuinely frightening territory. The scares are gentle, the history is real, and the goal is a night your whole family will talk about long after you’ve gone home.

Every tour on this page is led by a professional storyteller who knows how to read a crowd — keeping younger guests wide-eyed and engaged while giving parents complete peace of mind. We save the graphic details for our adults-only tours; here, the emphasis is on history, mystery, and a little shared fun in the dark.

Whether you’re traveling with curious grade-schoolers or hard-to-impress teenagers, these walking tours are a memorable way to explore a city after sunset — together.
