Canada’s Wonderland knows how to throw a festive bash. Camp Spooky, a family-friendly daytime event, runs every weekend from Sept. 27 to Nov. 2, and is the perfect Halloween-themed outing for little ones, filled with tiny terrors and more fun than you can shake a witch’s broom at.

Halloween is all about the goodies, right? So, let’s get the important part out of the way early: yes, there is candy, and plenty of it. Kids can shell out at various stations on the Trick-or-Treat Trail, filling pails and bags with sweet loot. Be sure to come dressed in full costume to enjoy the full spirit of the season and then show off your style at Canada’s Wonderland’s favourite Halloween event, The Peanuts Costume Contest.

The various members of the Peanuts Gang dress in costume, as well as greet children and pose for photos. Children can also meet a host of spooky characters, like a vampire, a wicked witch, a pirate, a ghost, and a spell-casting wizard.

Children can experience gentle chills as they venture into Spirit Manor – a family-friendly haunted house – or while exploring the Cornstalkers Maze.

Camp Spooky is enlivened by all kinds of live music, including performances by the Pumpkin Patches, Groovy Gourds who entertain with a variety of Halloween favourites and the Spectral Sisters, ghostly gals who bring the sounds of New Orleans to Canada’s Wonderland.

Other live entertainment includes the side-splitting hijinks of Doo Doo the Clown and Snoopy’s Tricks and Treats Adventure, a fun and interactive story time with the iconic dog.
The witches and warlocks at Camp Spooky conjure up all manner of magical autumn-themed foods and drinks at various locations around the park. My daughter went full-on vampire for a moment and chose the delicious Vile of Blood drink. Parents aren’t overlooked; they can enjoy brews and potions of an adult variety.

Oh, and there’s also pumpkin decorating. Pick a plump gourd, bring it to life, and take it home with you.

Best of all, there is no need to limit oneself to seasonal offerings – jump aboard any of the park’s world class rides for thrills of another kind any time you choose.

There is no additional charge for Camp Spooky; everything the event offers is included with Park Admission.

Canada’s Wonderland gives children the frightfully fun Halloween event they deserve with Camp Spooky. Throw on a costume, grab a loot bag and get in the festive spirit.
