The experience

Where exactly did they film that scene from Hocus Pocus where Max stands in front of Allison's house? The tour starts at Tipsy Cowboy restaurant with clips from Hocus Pocus, a Bewitched episode, and Hubie Halloween playing while you eat, then walks you to the real places those scenes were shot. Allison's House (technically the historical Ropes Mansion, built in the 1720s) is the first stop, the exact spot where Max gets smitten in the movie. From there you move through Salem's streets to a house that survived the witch trials themselves and appeared in Bewitched, then to the Old Town Hall where the Halloween party scene was filmed, and Salem Common, established in 1667, where Allison hands Max back his phone number in one of the film's outdoor moments.

The guide weaves production details and behind-the-scenes trivia through the walk, but also grounds it in Salem's actual history: the real witch trials that happened here, not just the Hollywood version. Costumes are encouraged and there are photo opportunities at each location. The tour is wheelchair accessible, and all surfaces and areas are navigable. Public transportation options are nearby if you need them. Infants can ride in a stroller, and service animals are welcome.

Top questions

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (6 to 17 years). Children under 6 can't be included in the booking.

What is Allison's House in Hocus Pocus actually called?

Allison's House is the Ropes Mansion, a real historic building constructed in the 1720s. It's the scene where Max stands mesmerized in front of his crush, and the guide explains both the movie moment and the mansion's own history on the walk.

Do we actually go inside the buildings or just see them from outside?

The tour visits the locations themselves. You stand at the real spots where scenes were filmed. The itinerary focuses on the exteriors and the streets where the action took place rather than interior access to private homes.

How long does the whole tour take from start to finish?

The tour runs two hours total, starting with the meal and clips at Tipsy Cowboy, then moving through the four filming locations on foot through Salem.

What's the difference between the Hocus Pocus locations and the Bewitched ones on this tour?

The tour covers both: Hocus Pocus scenes filmed at Allison's House and Salem Common, plus a Bewitched episode location in a historic house that dates to the witch-trial era. The guide explains the production history of both the 1993 film and the 1960s sitcom.
