Dark at Fort Edmonton Park
When: October 7-31, 2022
Come for the scares and stay for the food and fun. From local food truck favourites to spooky cocktails to a live DJ spinning spooky beats, DARK is Edmonton’s Haunted Festival, and you won’t want to miss it. There are multiple haunted houses to walk through, and we rank these on the level of ‘not too scary’ so you could easily bring kids without terrifying them. In our opinion, it’s best for kids aged 8+.

Rutherford Manor Haunt
When: Through Halloween
Where: Rutherford Manor House
Rutherford Manor is one of the scariest Halloween Haunts in the city, for a great cause. The Halloween Haunt hosts an afternoon of ‘less scary’ walk through the haunted house, but we still recommend this one for the older kids in your group - because it’s still a pretty scary experience.
