One notable highlight of the Halloween season in Manistee is the popular Ghost Ship, otherwise known throughout the year as the S.S. City of Milwaukee, docked off Arthur Street in Manistee.
The Ghost Ship is held on Friday and Saturday nights throughout October. Thousands visit the Ghost Ship, which has been transformed into a ghoulish and frightening haunted attraction.
Navigating the steep stairways deep into the Ghost Ship is challenging enough- having people jump out of the darkness is definitely a scary and heart-stopping experience!
Ghouls, vampires, and zombies await your arrival this October on Manistee’s Ghost Ship. It’s a treat you will never forget!
The Ghost Ship is generally open from 7:30pm-10:30pm every Friday and Saturday throughout October. Cost to enter is typically $12 for ages 13 & up, $10 for those age 7-12; and 6 & under enter free. The Ghost Ship is not recommended for those age 7 and under. Repeat visits in the same evening are $5.
