Tours begin at White Rose Bar & Grill, 48 N Beaver St, York, PA 17401.
There are NO jump scares and nothing in the program is designed to be frightening.
This is not a ghost investigation and no equipment will be used; this is a haunted history storytelling experience. Supernatural/paranormal experiences are not guaranteed.
Guests ages 12 and up are welcome. You know your child best. Guests as young as 7 have attended.
Well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome. If you bring your dog companion, you are fully responsible for them and their actions. You must carry water for them and clean up after them during the walk. Dogs in strollers are also welcome. Please leave other pet companions at home for this program.
All guests are encouraged to wear comfortable shoes and attire for the walk. Please dress for the weather.
Ghost tours are $25 per ticket and there are no discounts at this time.
The tour takes 90-120 minutes, with variation for stoplights, group travel pace, and answering questions. There is seating available at several stops, but cannot be promised for all attending guests.
There are NO public restrooms on the tour path. Please use restrooms at the White Rose.

We encourage you to make an evening of it and enjoy dinner, drinks, or coffee and dessert at the White Rose before or after the event!
