      Student & Group Tour Info

      Top Tips:

      • Please download the Salem app and enable push notifications for the day(s) you are in Salem. We will share event, location, parking, and traffic updates throughout the month.
      • We make every effort to provide useful information for teachers, tour planners, tour operators and motor coach drivers. Each of Salem’s sites and attractions has its own regulations for groups, which you can find in the free Salem Guide.
      • Salem is a town for all seasons. Salem’s peak season is June through October, and October is the busiest month of the year. Please book your group tours as early as possible. Many attractions take reservations as early as a year in advance.
      • Commercial buses and vans are not allowed to drive through or park in Winter Island Park due to limited space.
