Please see the approximate driving distances below. Please note this just includes round-trip driving distances and not time spent at stops.

2 hours and 45 minutes / 119 miles

From San Antonio, TX:
2 hours and 37 minutes / 120 miles

This trip can be done any day of the week, any time of the year. One cafe on stop #1 is closed on Sunday & Monday, but we provide an alternative.

We do not recommend traveling on holidays. Despite the haunted stories, this area is also quite festive during the holiday season!

We recommend departing between 9 - 9:30 am if you’re coming from Austin or San Antonio. The later you leave, the less time you’ll have to explore all of the stops.

This trip is pet-friendly! There will be at least one dog-friendly option on every stop. However, note that our shop and eatery suggestions only allow dogs on outdoor patios, so we recommend coordinating with the weather.

We recommend bringing between 2- 5 people on your surprise road trip adventure.

First Stop: No fee

Second Stop: No fee

Third Stop: No fee

Fourth Stop: Our featured stop has an optional paranormal museum that requires an entrance fee ($). We’ve provided free alternatives.

*Please note: gas, tolls, and food are additional costs at your own expense.

After booking your trip, we'll send you a confirmation email with a few recommended accommodation options.

Our haunted trips are all about the stories and the atmosphere. While you’ll visit real locations tied to eerie legends, many are best enjoyed from the outside — so bring your imagination! You’ll have a few short walks or hikes, plus several “drive-by” or photo-op stops where you’ll read the history in your booklet and picture the events for yourself.

Ghost sightings not guaranteed… but goosebumps possible.

So Much Fun!

We had so much fun on our Spooky and Scary mystery road trip from Austin. We have been to Austin numerous times, so we had figured we would know some of the places. However, the stops that were planned, we are all new to us and were researched and planned well. The instructions were easy to follow. This history and relevance was exciting. And the stressfree planning made our time meaningful and relaxing. We are going to do this again every year just to have a fun few days together.

We LOVE to hear this! :) We're so glad that you enjoyed your day exploring, and love the idea of doing this every year to get to spend some time together. Thank you so much for leaving a review!
