    About this experience

    Climb aboard Minneapolis’ Candlelight Ghost Trolley Tour for a wickedly fun night of haunted history, paranormal legends, and eerie storytelling through the city’s darkest corners. Departing from the infamous haunted Pillsbury Club, guests can arrive early to explore the Halloween market, grab food, and relax in exclusive VIP lounges before the spirits come out to play. Led by expert storytellers-you’ll ride through Minneapolis aboard a historic trolley rumored to be haunted itself, hearing chilling tales of ghostly apparitions, cursed mansions, unsolved mysteries, and the strange figures still said to wander the streets after dark. Armed with flickering candlelight you’ll experience one of Minneapolis’ top-rated nighttime attractions and a year-round Halloween event that’s equal parts spooky, theatrical, and wildly entertaining.

    Great experience

    We had no idea what to expect and had the best time! The host and everyone that works at this family run business were spectacular! I learned a lot about Minneapolis while also laughing a lot. Loved the music choices, the Elvira merch, the giant disco ball. And you MUST spring for the haunty attic!!

    Fun times

    I thought it was a lot of fun and the tour guide was super cute and funny. The staff was super cool and the vibes were very good. They also included my son who is autistic in the tour which I thought was really cool. He made noise and no one gave us a hard time which I really appreciate. I was happy to support a family business in Minneapolis.

    It was a fun experience to see the city in a unique way. I liked that we got out and walked and that it wasn't just a drive by tour.

    #1 Ghost Tour in the Midwest : Candlelight Trolley Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Minneapolis-Saint Paul.

    How much does #1 Ghost Tour in the Midwest : Candlelight Trolley Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $49 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Minneapolis-Saint Paul usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does #1 Ghost Tour in the Midwest : Candlelight Trolley Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Minneapolis-Saint Paul is not rushed.

    Is #1 Ghost Tour in the Midwest : Candlelight Trolley Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 213 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Minneapolis-Saint Paul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule #1 Ghost Tour in the Midwest : Candlelight Trolley Tour?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is #1 Ghost Tour in the Midwest : Candlelight Trolley Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book #1 Ghost Tour in the Midwest : Candlelight Trolley Tour?

    +

    Around 75 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Minneapolis-Saint Paul can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Minneapolis-Saint Paul and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does #1 Ghost Tour in the Midwest : Candlelight Trolley Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Minneapolis-Saint Paul within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Minneapolis-Saint Paul?

    +

    The Twin Cities cover Mississippi mill district history, chain of lakes bike and paddle tours, Mall of America trips, brewery crawls in Northeast and winter ice experiences. Seasonal swing is extreme, so honest weather guidance matters. On Outty we rank every Minneapolis-Saint Paul experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Escape Game: Epic 60-Minute Adventures at the Mall of America, Narrated Scenic Tour on the Minneapolis Trolley, St. Paul Historic Cave Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Minneapolis-Saint Paul?

    +

    June to September, with winter activities from December to February. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Minneapolis-Saint Paul?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
