Duluth’s Famous Haunted Ship Reveals Its 2026 Opening Date

Halloween season is upon us. I know you probably don't want to think about that right now because it means summer is coming to an end. I am ready for fall though and will be very happy when it arrives.

Whether you like it or not, all things spooky season have started rolling out across the Northland. I have seen Halloween decor in a bunch of different stores and Spirit Halloween is already open in the Miller Hill Mall.

Now, one of the most famous haunted attractions in the state is gearing up to open. The Haunted Ship just shared their schedule for the season.

We do have a little bit of time to wait until their opening night but I never miss one year at the Haunted Ship so I will be ready for sure.

Saturday hours will be a bit longer from 1 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. There will also be special ship tours in the daylight and with lights on for those that are a little afraid!

These 'Lights On' tours will be available the first two Saturdays of the month and is perfect for those that want to see the ship but don't want things popping out at them!

Otherwise, the Haunted Ship will be open every Thursday, Friday and Saturday beginning on October 15th, with hours running from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays and 4 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on every remaining Saturday.

Would you rather go on a weekday? The Haunted Ship will be available on one Wednesday, October 14th from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tickets are on sale now and just like last year, there are VIP options available.

Fast passes are available so you can skip the line AND the entire first weekend of the attraction (October 2nd and 3rd), you can get tickets for cheap at just twenty bucks. That deal will remain in place every other Thursday.

I absolutely cannot wait! I am already counting down the days. Yes, please.
