8:30am – Hocus Pocus House
Kick off your Salem, MA day trip with an iconic Hocus Pocus filming site: Max and Dani’s home from the movie. The house, located at 4 Ocean Ave., is a private residence in a quiet neighborhood, and doesn’t feature a museum or even parking. That said, this photo spot will quickly get you into the spirit of the Witch City. While the owners don’t mind visitors taking photos, I still recommend being brief and discreet. For parking, street spots in this harborside neighborhood are mostly reserved...

It’s simply a place where you can appreciate the lovely harbor and e...

Therefore, I hopped on I-95 N for a 34-minute drive from our hotel, though times could be longer or shorter depending on traffic. Most parking in Salem is paid. Credit cards a...
I’m going to put it right out there and say the best time to visit Salem is fall. I know, the Witch City in the fall… groundbreaking. This is simply fact if you want optimal Hocus Pocus vibes and to experience Salem when it’s decked out in colorful fall foliage. October can be a madhouse, so I recommend a November visit for the tail end of foliage ...
