WHAT TO EXPECT ON A GHOST CAPERS TOUR
• Ghost Capers tours are entirely open-air and proceed rain or (moon)shine, so bring umbrellas and/or ponchos if rain is on the forecast!
• Our tours take 45 minutes - 1 hour to complete, depending on the tour selected and guest pace.
• Each tour includes 15 - 25 minutes of walking time, in stretches of 1 - 5 minutes at a time, and covers about half a mile to a mile depending on the tour selected.
• Parts of our tour routes may be dark and may include narrow or uneven pavement. We welcome the use of flashlights and mobility aids, but our routes may not be fully accessible due to Cape May's infrastructure.
• Be sure to check each individual tour description to get precise details on the length, time, and accessibility of each of our tour offerings.
• All of our tours are walking tours, so please plan on parking bicycles or other recreational vehicles before joining us.
AGE GUIDELINES AND SENSITIVE CONTENT
• Guests of all ages are welcome on our Ghost Capers tours, though each tour has its own recommended age range.
• Currently, we recommend our Ghost Capers Haunted History Walk for guests ages 12 & up, while our Ghosts of the Gilded Age Stroll is limited to guests ages 16 & up. Our Kid Capers Family Ghost Walk is open to families with kids of all ages, and is especially tailored to kids ages 8 - 12.
• Infants in strollers or those being carried do not require tickets. However, due to our capacity limits, all other guests require general admission tickets.
• Some of our tours may include references to topics that some guests may find sensitive. Please review each individual tour description for more details on sensitive topics that may be included on each tour. We aim to treat these subjects respectfully and do not discuss them in explicit detail on any tour.
