My sister and I had a great experience with the Mushroom Witch of Salem, on a rainy late September 2025 weekday (just before the October boom) walk through the woods. It was only another pair of guests so it was a nice small group. The stories are very nicely presented and many parts continue to ring true for present day. Nothing is for sale on the day of the tour so I am glad I bought the mosquito spray when I booked the tour. Just wish I would've bought the other things the Mushroom Witch had to offer. Perfect activity to get outside and touch some grass. 😊
