Q: Is there an age limit for the small group trip to Salem and Hammond Castle?

A: No specific age limit, but it's best suited for older kids and adults who can appreciate the history and walking. Some kids might find the witch trial stories a bit intense. Just keep in mind that it involves a fair amount of walking at the castle and in Salem, so younger children might need extra attention.
