"Boring"

The mannequins scared the younger kids and freaked out our teenager.  They were very dirty from lack of upkeep and some had even fallen over.  We got a three museum pass for each of us, which cost almost $100, but the information was the exact same information presented differently in both the Witch History and Witch Dungeon.  We also went to the Salem Witch Museum, which again had the same Witch information.  
In the three pack was included the New England Pirate Museum.  That was the only one that we enjoyed.

"Interesting"

It was fun even though it was embellished slightly.  I really enjoyed the "creepy" atmosphere of it.  If you are looking for a fun spooky trip, this is it!  We went with a 6 year old and while he was very brave, he still needed to hold Mom's hand.  He did have fun, just a  little spooked!

"Not for small children"

Much better in October than any other time, but be prepared for crowds (especially school crowds during the week).
