3.0 of 5 stars. there is little I enjoy more than walking through period houses and seeing the way people lived and spent thier daily lives. If you enjoy that, then give this a shot.. it's not entirely authentic (it...

Yelp.com Review - by Matt L.

3.0 of 5 stars. I just visited this attraction with my wife and it was good not to wait too long, since this tour is just mediocre. It was a tour through an older property in Salem and just an old house with weird...

Yelp.com Review - by Darren M.

3.0 of 5 stars. My 3 cousins and I were dragged here by my aunt and uncle a few years ago and overall I would not say it is a place to take a bunch of kids for a good time. The only thing I enjoyed about the tour was...

Yelp.com Review - by Lacey P.

4.0 of 5 stars. This is a pretty good museum. It's kept very accurate and has a lot of neat artifacts. Not a lot of bells and whistles here, but definitely worth checking out. I think it might be kind of boring for...

Yelp.com Review - by Stephanie H.

5.0 of 5 stars. If you are going to see one attraction while visiting Salem, this is it. It is worth the money and time. Expect a wait in October (as with anyplace). It is open year round which is great and has a...

Yelp.com Review - by Jennifer D.

4.0 of 5 stars. Tickets were $12. I like old homes, though wouldn't want to live in them. There was a secret passageway, though this one was built for tourists, not slaves due to a hint of one in Hawthorne's famous...

Yelp.com Review - by Jenne K.

5.0 of 5 stars. If you see anything in Salem, see the House of the Seven Gables. Even if you never read the novel. Even if you don't like Nathaniel Hawthorne. You won't be sorry.I believe the tickets were $12, but...

Yelp.com Review - by diana y.

5.0 of 5 stars. The guy who gave us our tour is also a civil war re-enactor. Clearly, they are very serious about this stuff here at the House of Seven Gables. Getting to walk around one of the country's most...

Yelp.com Review - by Jocelyn G.

5.0 of 5 stars. They give a very comprehensive tour of the house and the grounds are also open to visitors. They are gorgeous. The neat thing about the house is that they have all this great period wall paper that...

Yelp.com Review - by Tiffany M.

5.0 of 5 stars. A most informative tour which appeals to architecture buffs (it's the oldest wooden mansion in the nation), Hawthorne-ophiles (it's is cousin's house and the basis of the book of the same name), and...

Not a good value

Perhaps a tour of the House of Seven Gables is worth doing if a) you've read the book; b) you have a good tour guide; c) you don't have better things to do with your money. The tour guide we had was not at all...
