Anyone ever been? Wife and I are thinking of going next year (2021). She loves all that Halloween stuff.

I think it’s overrated and touristy, but to each their own.

Also, as of now anyone coming to Mass. has to self-quarantine for 14 days or get a negative test. Punishable by $500/day.

Never mind, just saw you said 2021. Hope to God we’re out of this by then!

My wife and I sound like you guys. We did a day trip out there while visiting Boston two years ago and loved it. Yes it’s hokey but that’s the fun of it. The whole town centers around Halloween and everything is decorated. We did a lantern ghost tour and it was a lot of fun. We then went and drank in the pubs and shopped

My kids are obsessed with Halloween and we said we would take them one year. I think you would enjoy it.

Pretty sure some places stay decorated All the time
We were there July 2019 and it was all decorated
It’s a good day trip and I would look to stay in Marblehead or rockport

same, I did a day trip to Salem (during Halloween time) as part of a Boston trip and it was totally worth it.

I don't think there's a need to spend the night in Salem, it's pretty close to Boston and you can wrap everything up in one day.

Salem is a nice little town and if you really like Halloween I’m sure you will have a great time. Go for a day and move on would be my advice.

We took the train from Boston and it took 45 minutes and was a great day trip. Got back around 10pm

They have some good bars and restaurants as well

Took my wife there last year for her October birthday. I agree with others that it's a bit cheesy, but she loved it and would have stayed longer. We were there for just a day and a half and then went down to Boston for a couple days. The town itself is pretty cool and we had a couple good meals as well.

We went for a half day last year when we were in Boston. The sunset cruise was really nice and we liked the night ghost tour thing. The museum sucked tho.
