Old Town Must Do

Kid friendly, mild scares, some serious subject matter discussed. For me, could've spent a little more time exploring or asking questions in each room.

2-Story home

It was cool not long and the First Two-story home in California that's cool. Like the store as well.

Whaley House

I was hoping that it would be a little scary but it was boring instead. I didn’t feel any kind of spirits or the dead that were around. I would have enjoyed it if there was something that gave me chills. It was more of a history lesson

So cool!

Maud was our tour guide and was a great addition to the fun. She made the tour interesting by adding her own personality to the mix. We didn’t see any ghosts but the experience was cool! The guest shop was also fun with lots of souvenir options.
