Prairie Avenue Haunted History Tour and Ghost Hunt is a 2 hour 20 minute outing on Chicago's near South Side from Chicago Hauntings, booking from $40 per person at our August 3, 2026 check. One fact governs the booking and belongs before the rest: it is non-refundable. That was the cancellation label at our July 30, 2026 sweep, and free cancellation was still flagged off at the August 3 re-check, which makes it the only Chicago listing we tracked carrying that label. The listing names EMF meters, dowsing rods and spirit boxes as included equipment, states wheelchair access, and posts a minimum age of 11. It carried twelve Viator reviews at the August check, too few to publish as a rating, so we print no score for it and keep it out of every comparison table on this site.
The booking card below is titled Chicago: Prairie Ave Historic District History and Ghost Tour. The live listing on August 3, 2026 reads Prairie Avenue Haunted History Tour and Ghost Hunt, and that is the name we use here. Same product, same code.
| Detail | What the listing shows |
|---|---|
| From price | $40 per person (checked August 3, 2026, unchanged from our July 30, 2026 sweep) |
| Cancellation | NON-REFUNDABLE. That was the label at our July 30, 2026 sweep and free cancellation was still flagged off at our August 3, 2026 check. Confirm it on the booking page before you pay, and do not carry over the free-cancellation terms the city's other listings offer. |
| Duration | 2 hours 20 minutes (checked July 30, 2026) |
| Minimum age | 11, per the single age band recorded on the booking form (checked July 30, 2026) |
| Included | EMF meters, dowsing rods and spirit boxes, named on the listing (checked July 30, 2026). It is the only Chicago listing we tracked whose recorded data names its ghost-hunting equipment rather than referring to it generically. |
| Accessibility | Wheelchair accessible per the listing (checked July 30, 2026), one of two of this operator's four Chicago products we recorded that way |
| Stops named | Five: the Marshall Field Jr Mansion, the Clarke House Museum, the Keith House, Second Presbyterian Church and the Prairie Avenue Historic District (checked July 30, 2026) |
| Reviews | Twelve Viator reviews (checked August 3, 2026). Twelve is too small a base to publish a score on, so we print none and keep this listing out of every table here. Five of the nineteen Chicago listings we tracked showed a perfect score, three of them on samples of 12, 7 and 1, so no highest-rated claim is available in this city. |
| Availability | In stock at our August 3, 2026 check |
| Not captured | Clock start times, stroller access, meeting point, end point, group size, weather policy and confirmation timing, at our July 30, 2026 sweep. We print none of them, and the first listed stop is not a meeting point. |
| Operator | Chicago Hauntings. We do not run this tour. |
Who it suits
A party of 11 and up that wants equipment in hand and one compact walkable district rather than a circuit across the city, and that can accept a booking it cannot cancel. The listing states wheelchair access, which most of the Chicago set does not.
- Skip it if anyone in the party is under 11. That is the floor on the booking form.
- Skip it if you need cancellation flexibility. Non-refundable means non-refundable.
- Skip it if you want a story-first walk with no gadgets.
- Skip it if you came for the Loop and the Outfit. This route stays on the near South Side.

What equipment do I get?
The listing names EMF meters, dowsing rods and spirit boxes as included. It is the only Chicago listing we tracked that itemizes its equipment rather than referring to it in general terms.
