Junior Ghost Hunters
Spooky. Not Scary.
San Diego's only ghost tour built just for kids. Real ghost hunting equipment. Real haunted locations. Real fun. Every kid leaves with a Ghost Hunter Certificate.
Why This Tour
Not a watered-down adult tour.
Built for kids from scratch.
Kids Lead the Investigation
At every stop, kids hold the equipment, read the meters, and decide if the ghosts are friendly or not. They're investigators, not spectators.
Scooby-Doo, Not Conjuring
Thrilling enough to be memorable, safe enough for bedtime after. No jump scares. Nothing faked. Real experiences happen on our tours, and while they're rare, they're always friendly.
Exclusive Park Access
We have exclusive access to Heritage Park. No other San Diego ghost tour takes you here. Victorian-era homes with 150 years of stories, and paranormal investigators have been drawn to this location for years.
History That Sticks
Kids learn about San Diego's real past through stories they'll actually remember. Settlers, outlaws, and the people who built Old Town.
Everyone Gets a Turn
Rotating equipment assignments at each stop. Nobody spends the whole tour just watching. Every kid is hands-on at every location.
100% Locally Owned
Not a national chain with a script written from across the country. Our company, our guides, our stories, our research are all San Diego. Every aspect of this tour is locally owned and operated.
Ghost Hunting Toolkit
Real equipment. Real investigation.
Every tool the adults use, sized and explained for young investigators. Each host uses different tools, so the kit varies by tour. Here are some of what we use.
