Enjoy a spooky (not scary) evening at Haunted Village. While there will be a Halloween theme, the displays are designed to be family friendly. Certain areas of site will feature skeletons, jack-o-lanterns, large spiders and costumed mannequins depicting different literary scenes—nothing overtly gruesome or frightening. There is a small graveyard set up, but there aren’t any scenes with blood, guts or gore.
This event is known to sell out so make sure you book your tickets as soon as possible. Follow Burnaby Village Museum on Facebook for more information about this event and more seasonal activities.
