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!
Even if you’re from out of town and taking a road trip to Manistee to enjoy the Ghost Ship, it’s worth the drive! You’ll find the Ghost Ship located at 99 Arthur Street, just take US-31 into town and you’ll see it docked to the right on Manistee Lake, just after the bridge.
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.
If you wonder what happens to the S.S. City of Milwaukee when it’s not being used as the Ghost Ship, read more about the happenings aboard the S.S. City of Milwaukee Ship throughout the year.
