All of our tours are a combination of history and ghost story. We do tours for school groups and have lots of kids go with their families, so yes we are kid friendly. The "scare rating" is really dependent on the guide, but they try to tone it down if there are kids on the tour.
Hi Adam, I've taken several of the Gettysburg ghost tours and I would definitely consider them kid friendly. There are daytime and nighttime tours. The guides are very professional, dress in period costume, and tell stories about true events and folklore. They do sometimes discuss ghost sightings and local tales about the battle. I didn't consider the tours scary at all, but if you take one of the tours in town, you'll be walking the local streets and you can easily walk away from it at any time if your child gets scared.
Are ghosts real
The guides are amazing and I am sure they would accommodate. That being said, the history of Gettysburg tends to be gruesome, so they'll hear the truth about the locations you visit.
On our tour, we had kids. They did just fine. Mostly folklore and history of what happened there
In my opinion... when I took the tour, there was nothing frightening about it. It mainly dealt with history and folklore.
