    What you'll see and do

    1. The Frank E. Moss Federal Courthouse in Salt Lake City, completed in 1905, originally served as a post office and courthouse. The building is steeped in history, with tales of the stern Judge Ritter who presided there, and lingering ghostly presences that some say still echo through its halls, adding a chilling aura to this historic site.

    2. The Holiday Inn Express in Salt Lake City, while presenting a welcoming facade, conceals a disturbing past that reflects some of Utah's darker history. Despite multiple remodels over the years, the hotel's history is marred by unsettling events, and rumors of paranormal activity have emerged, adding an eerie undertone to its otherwise inviting atmosphere.

      10 minutes here

    3. Constructed in 1913 and originally known as The Orpheum Theater, the Capitol Theater was a vibrant venue for live vaudeville performances during the early 20th century. Today, it is renowned among paranormal enthusiasts for its haunting legends, particularly the ghost of Dickie Duffin, whose lingering presence adds an intriguing and eerie dimension to this historic theater.

      10 minutes here

    4. The Walker Center in Salt Lake City, the last vestige of the Walker family's influential legacy, is a towering skyscraper with a storied past. Having served various functions—from a bank and radio transmitting station to a weather tower—its multifaceted history has given rise to ghostly legends and eerie occurrences, adding a mysterious allure to this architectural landmark.

      10 minutes here

    5. The Judge Building in downtown Salt Lake City, once renowned for its intricate craftsmanship and architectural elegance, has shifted its reputation to a more somber note. Today, it is infamously associated with the tragic death of Steven Christensen, a high-profile case that has cast a shadow over the building, making it a focal point for those intrigued by its haunting history and the dark events that unfolded within its walls.

      10 minutes here

    6. Whiskey Street

      Whiskey Street in Salt Lake City, named for its historic abundance of taverns, saloons, and breweries from the late 1800s, reflects the vibrant, yet turbulent past of the area. Today, the Whiskey Street Cocktails & Dining venue honors this legacy but is also notorious as one of the most haunted buildings in downtown Salt Lake City, where patrons and staff frequently encounter eerie phenomena and ghostly presences linked to its storied past.

    This was a fun tour! It's...

    This was a fun tour! It's not too much walking and the guide told us about the city and the area in between stops. He gave us emf readers which was a fun little bonus to have to hold up while the story is being told.

    Salt Lake Ghost Tour: Salt, Spooks, & Shadows: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Salt Lake City.

    How much does Salt Lake Ghost Tour: Salt, Spooks, & Shadows cost?

    +

    Prices start at $26 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Salt Lake City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Salt Lake Ghost Tour: Salt, Spooks, & Shadows 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 Salt Lake City is not rushed.

    Is Salt Lake Ghost Tour: Salt, Spooks, & Shadows worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 144 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Salt Lake City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Salt Lake Ghost Tour: Salt, Spooks, & Shadows?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Salt Lake Ghost Tour: Salt, Spooks, & Shadows 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 Salt Lake Ghost Tour: Salt, Spooks, & Shadows?

    +

    Around 50 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 Salt Lake City 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 Salt Lake City and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Salt Lake Ghost Tour: Salt, Spooks, & Shadows 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 Salt Lake City 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 Salt Lake City?

    +

    Salt Lake City is a basecamp: Big and Little Cottonwood canyon hikes and ski shuttles, Antelope Island and Great Salt Lake trips, Park City transfers and Temple Square walking tours. Winter transfer reliability is the single biggest quality signal here. On Outty we rank every Salt Lake City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Salt Lake City Guided Bus Tour, Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square & Salt Lake City Bus Tour, Great Salt Lake Safari - Discover Antelope Island. 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 Salt Lake City?

    +

    December to March for skiing, June to September for canyon hiking. 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 Salt Lake City?

    +

    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.
