Written By Joe Findlay

We take an in-depth look at all of the frights, foods and festivities that you are going to find at Canada's Wonderland's 19th annual Halloween Haunt.

Something scary is coming to Canada’s Wonderland—and this time, we can actually talk about it.

Hey everybody, welcome to the channel. I’m Joe Findlay, and starting September 27 through November 2, Canada’s Wonderland is unleashing its 19th season of Halloween Haunt. From brand-new haunted houses to returning fan favorites, plus family-friendly daytime fun, there’s a lot to cover.

Let’s start with something a little less terrifying.

Camp Spooky: Family-Friendly Halloween Fun

If you’re visiting during the day, Camp Spooky is your go-to for kid-friendly Halloween activities.

Running from September 28 throughout the Haunt season, Camp Spooky takes over Planet Snoopy and KidZville with:

  • Character meet-and-greets featuring Halloween-themed Peanuts characters

  • Pumpkin decorating and trick-or-treating

  • Kid-friendly mazes

  • Live entertainment including clowns, magicians, and music

There are also special experiences like:

  • Sally’s Disco dance party

  • A kids’ costume parade with the Peanuts gang

  • Two live shows: Charlie Brown’s Trick-or-Treat Tales and Spooky Tales with Snoopy

It’s a much lighter, more playful way to enjoy Halloween before the scares begin at night.

Haunted Houses and Mazes

Halloween Haunt is all about the scares, and this year’s lineup includes both new attractions and returning favorites.

New for This Year

Demons of the Deep
Set inside a deserted marine lab, this maze features twisted experiments and eerie underwater horror.

Dark Ride: The Maze
An abandoned amusement park ride overtaken by sinister carnival workers sets the stage for this unsettling experience.

Returning Mazes

  • Cornstalkers – A haunted corn maze where children have mysteriously disappeared

  • Spirit Manor – A richly themed haunted mansion experience

  • The Crypt – Underground catacombs filled with the remains of millions

  • The Ruins – An archaeological expedition gone horribly wrong

Scare Zones

Seven scare zones will be spread throughout the park, each with its own theme and atmosphere:

  • Necropolis – A dark underworld filled with the undead

  • Wicked Hollow – A once-magical forest now inhabited by evil creatures

  • Carnivale – A twisted carnival with unsettling performers

  • Kingdom of Carnage – A medieval uprising fueled by dark magic

  • Streets of the Undead – A full zombie apocalypse

  • Gates of Terror – The chaotic entrance to the park, packed with monsters

  • Trick-or-Treat Street – A warped take on a Halloween neighborhood party

Live Entertainment

Beyond the mazes and scare zones, there’s plenty of live entertainment happening throughout the park:

  • A roaming LED drum line

  • A returning Freak Show

  • Live music performances near Riptide

  • Inferno – an acrobatic fire show at Arthur’s Bay

  • Vampire Disco – DJs, dancing, and a high-energy nightclub vibe

Halloween Haunt Food Highlights

Seasonal food is always part of the experience, and this year’s menu includes some standout items:

  • Witch’s Poutine – fries with nacho cheese, sour cream, and jerk chicken

  • Medieval Dungeon Dog – footlong hot dog with chili, cheese, and crispy onions

  • Junkyard Chicken Sausage – topped with sriracha aioli and pickled vegetables

  • Bear Bites – smoked chicken sandwich with egg, avocado, and aioli

  • Tandoori Terror Chicken

Desserts

There will also be plenty of themed treats like cake pops and hand pies.

Blood Bag Beverages

Returning and new themed drinks add to the experience:

  • Witch’s Brew – blood orange syrup, sweet and sour, tequila, and edible glitter

  • Toxic Waste, Fire Starter, and Red Rum Runner (returning favorites)

  • Vampire’s Kiss (Mocktail) – lemonade, cherry syrup, vanilla, and glitter

Tickets and Value

Halloween Haunt is a separately ticketed event, with prices starting around $44.99.

However, if you have a Gold Season Pass, Haunt admission is included—making it one of the best values if you plan to visit multiple times. Add in other seasonal events like WinterFest, and the pass pays for itself quickly.

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re going for the haunted houses, scare zones, food, or entertainment, Halloween Haunt continues to be one of Canada’s Wonderland’s biggest events of the year.

There’s something for everyone—from daytime family fun at Camp Spooky to full-on horror experiences after dark.

If you’re planning to go this year, it’s shaping up to be a strong season.
