The Cape May MAC (Museums+Arts+Culture) has curated a diverse lineup of specially-themed tours and events, including murder mystery dinners, ghostly house tours, graveyard walks, and trolley rides exploring the city's haunted past. Popular events such as "Phantoms of the Physick Estate: The Living Library," "Historic Haunts House Tour," and the "Cherry House Haunting Tales Tour" offer a unique and chilling glimpse into the supernatural side of Cape May.

Thrill-seekers can embark on a Ghost Walk with Craig McManus or hop aboard the "Spirits & Oddities Trolley Tour" to discover the town's eerie legends and folklore. The "Graveyard Ghosts & Mansions Combo Tour" combines two popular experiences, allowing visitors to explore both the historic mansions and the resting places of Cape May's former residents.

With a wide variety of tours and events to choose from, there's something for everyone to enjoy during Cape May's Halloween Happenings. Visitors are encouraged to book their tickets in advance, as many of these events sell out quickly.

For those seeking an extra dose of history and mystery, the 1879 Emlen Physick Estate, the 1859 Cape May Lighthouse, and the 1942 World War II Lookout Tower offer year-round tours and insights into the town's past.

Cape May MAC is committed to making its programs accessible to all, and encourages visitors with specific needs to call in advance for assistance.

Whether you're a believer in ghosts or simply enjoy the thrill of a good scare, Cape May's Halloween Happenings are sure to provide a memorable and spine-tingling experience.
