The spookiest time of year is back at Canada’s Wonderland this month with Halloween Haunt returning for its 18th season starting Sept. 22 with more dates than ever before and three new terrifying mazes: Dark Ride, Necropolis and Trick or Treat Street. Camp Spooky daytime fun for kids and families starts Sept. 23 with costume parties, trick-or-treating and live entertainment with the PEANUTS Gang.
Halloween Haunt
Nighttime thrills return with Haunt beginning Friday, Sept. 22 and running for 20 select nights through Oct. 29. Hundreds of monsters will be unleashed upon the park and guests can brave seven mazes, five scare zones, see six sinister shows and ride all their favourite roller coasters in the dark!
This year Haunt will feature three new horrifying mazes:
- Dark Ride: An abandoned carnival ride sits dark and in ruin, its time of amusement long dead. Unbeknownst to curious visitors, the long-neglected attraction now houses a sinister world of terror created by outcast carnival workers and performers. Explore this Dark Ride at your own peril, for the freaks wait within with wicked smiles and treacherous plans.
- Necropolis: Step into Necropolis and enter the underworld where the dead wait to terrorize the living. Ancient mausoleums, labyrinthine passages and dark tombs conceal the guardians of this deathly place. Don’t linger too long or they may select you to join their ghostly ranks.
- Trick or Treat Street: The most twisted Halloween street party has come to town and you’re invited. Expect deranged decor, eerie party guests and ghoulish games. We’re sure you’ll have a diabolically haunted time. BYOB – Bring Your Own Blood.
Ghosts, ghouls and monsters will be terrorizing guests in five immersive scare zones and performers will thrill park-goers in wicked live shows. Returning are Inferno, Skeleton Crew, Freak Show, Vampire Disco, the Deathly Drumline and the Day of the Dead Festival with a musical parade and performance by The Mexican Folk Ballet. Enjoy spooky food and drink from our specialty Haunt menu, shop for haunted souvenirs at our Halloween Boo-tique and experience all your favourite rides at night!
Haunt guests will be asked to adhere to the bag policy which states that only clear bags smaller than 12”x12”x6” or non-clear wristlets/clutches no larger than 5”x8”x2” will be permitted in the park for the event. All bags are subject to search prior to entry.
Halloween Haunt runs select nights between Sept. 22 and Oct. 29. Guests who purchase a 2024 Gold Pass get unlimited visits to the park in 2023 and 2024 including Halloween Haunt and WinterFest. For more info on the spooky attractions, tickets or Gold Passes visit www.canadaswonderland.com/haunt
