Tricks for Treats at Ireland House
Visit us on October 25 at Ireland House Museum for some Hallowe’en family fun! Try your hand at some tricky old-fashioned games for some treats while touring the historic home. There will be pumpkin spice scones on the hearth and you can try pressing your own apple cider in the Summer Kitchen. Children will also have the opportunity to decorate their own trick-or-treating bag. Regular museum admission applies.
Mountsberg Spooktacular Halloween
This nighttime Halloween event is perfect for all ages. Choose a later time for bigger kids to experience a little more excitement, and little kids will love visiting at dusk or shortly thereafter. Read all about our visit here. You’ll enjoy a scavenger hunt, a spooky stroll through the woods. Prepare for some thrills and chills in the Haunted Barn (some displays are a littler scarier). Definitely wear your Halloween costumes. You can upgrade your visit to also include a wagon ride, hot drinks and s’mores.
Pumpkins After Dark at Country Heritage Park
Pumpkins After Dark is Canada’s award-winning outdoor Halloween event. Featuring over 10,000+ hand-carved pumpkins, this one-of-a-kind walk-through experience is the must-see event of the fall season. This is the biggest Halloween event in Milton. Perfect for all ages, and because it’s a walk through you can set your own pace, which we loved. Read about our visits here. Every year, the display gets bigger and better. You will find everything from your favourite video game characters to the scariest horror movie villains, all carved out of pumpkins. Wear a costume and purchase some Halloween treats.
