Don't expect Hollywood special effects; the main presentation feels like a fever dream from 1985 with its crusty animatronics. Spend 45 minutes getting the basic timeline of the 1692 trials, then head out. The second exhibit on the evolution of the 'witch' archetype is surprisingly grounded. Skip the gift shop souvenirs and put that cash toward the Hawthorne’s Haunts audio tour instead. It offers way better context for your walk through the rest of the city.
