The Ghosts of Chicago Tour FAQ

Everything you need to know before you go

Yes! The Ghosts of Chicago Tour is a family-friendly experience designed for all ages. Our guides are skilled at making the stories engaging and appropriately spooky for children while keeping adults entertained with historical depth and chilling tales. Children under 5 attend free when accompanied by a paying adult.

The Ghosts of Chicago Tour runs nightly at 8:00 PM and 9:00 PM from March through November. The tour typically ends around 9:30 PM or 10:30 PM depending on your start time. We recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to meet your guide at Cloud Gate (The Bean).

Our tours run rain or shine! We recommend checking the weather forecast and dressing appropriately. Bring an umbrella or rain jacket if rain is expected. If severe weather occurs, we'll contact you about rescheduling. You can reschedule your tour for free anytime before the start time.

Yes, well-behaved pets on leashes are welcome! Many guests bring their furry friends along for the ghostly adventure. Just make sure your pet is comfortable walking for 90 minutes and being around other people in busy downtown Chicago.

The tour starts in front of Cloud Gate (The Bean) at 201 E Randolph Street in Millennium Park. Your tour guide will be waiting for you at this iconic Chicago landmark. We highly recommend taking an Uber or using public transportation to avoid parking hassles. If you do drive, arrive early as nearby parking fills up quickly.

Yes, all tours offered by Ghost City Tours, including the The Ghosts of Chicago Tour is a walking Ghost Tour. Don't worry, our tours are only about a mile in length and you'll have plenty of chances to sit and enjoy the stories along the way. Why be crammed into a Trolley, next to people you don't know, when you can experience our haunted locations as they were meant to be experienced?
