Tour Overview

An actress who never left the stage after her final curtain call? German prisoners of war still toiling in the orange groves years after the war is over?

Solve all these mysteries on your Winter Park ghost tour!

Sunny’s Local Tips and Bits:

The Annie Russell Theatre on the campus of Winter Park’s Rollins College was built in the 1930s and named after the actress, Annie Russell, who taught at the school. She came out of retirement to perform again on-stage opening night in 1932, and them passed away just four years later.

Students and maintenance staff have often reported seeing a female ghost in the second-story changing room…and other parts of the campus!

    "Local and Loved It!"
    OK, to be honest, when my friends roped me into this, I thought a tour of Winter Park, even a ghost tour, would be lame. Back it up, girl! You won me over, Michael! You are a fabo guide, loved the stories and as I said last night I want to bring out a bunch of my sorority sisters next semester.

  • "Yes, kid friendly fun!"
    Was a little skeptical if this would be OK for children (8-boy, 9-girl), but they had so much fun too. There is a stop at a small pub that was very nice and kid-friendly. There is a lot of walking (even though there are many stops), so I wouldn't recommend kids much younger than mine going unless you have a stroller or don't mind carrying them.

    Our family loved it. Great tour for adults and children alike. The guides checked with us ahead of time to gauge what kind of stories to tell with our kids. Extra effort goes a long way! 10/10
