Looking for a thrilling way to spend your Saturday night? Searching for a sensational, new activity in Chicago? Or perhaps you just want a fun, informational tour of the city.

Absolutely Chicago Haunted Halloween Segway Tour provides a titillating adventure for those seeking excitement. The cost of half hour of segway-riding training, and an hour and a half of exploring in the city, is $70 or $63 with the online, Halloween discount. The website made explicitly clear that you must be 18 years or older, or with adult supervision, and you must weigh 100 pounds, although no verification of either was requested. The intro to learning how to Segway was tedious and boring, but the overall night was an incredibly amusing experience.

Around 9 p.m., our official tour began and our group glided out of Millennium Park, with our obnoxious orange helmets, and into the nipping, frosty air that made me regret not wearing gloves and a hat. We began our tour coasting along a trail bordering Lake Michigan, and the eerie, white-capped waves reaching out of the water towards us really set the ambiance of the tour.

Our guide was quite vivacious, full of both energy and information, and the sites we stopped at along the Chicago river, on State Street and in front of the Congress Hotel, hosted a plethora unnerving historical facts. Perhaps the most startling thing I heard throughout the tour however, was regarding the secret recurring disasters that take place in the John Hancock building.

Despite the frigid weather, and the bothersome wind, I’d say the experience as a whole was worth the money. Casually rolling over cobble stones in a dreary alley, where there had once been a pile of dead bodies was chilling to hear about, and learning about the horrific details of the SS Eastland disaster of 1915 was depressing, yet really interesting. It was an educational tour, as our guide was very knowledgeable, and not just about the hauntings that occurred in Chicago, but also about other random facts ranging from the architecture downtown to quarrels between Donald Trump and Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

Bottom line: being able to whiz through Chicago on a Segway, under the bright, night lights of my home city was exhilarating, to say the least. The stories were fascinating, scary, and flat-out bizarre, but I loved hearing them never the less. If you ever have the opportunity to try this Haunted Tour, I say go for it.
