Join the Dalnavert Museum for a Halloween Scavenger Hunt on any of their museum tours booked for the weekends of October 23-24 and October 30-31. Get dressed up and do a fun family-friendly tour and scavenger hunt – you can even cast a spell in the spooky attic at the end! Learn more and book. The Dalnavert is also offering VOD screenings of The Empty House, a ghost story adventure based on the classic short story by Algernon Blackwood. Experience the story in a new and haunting way from the comfort of your own home as you follow the adventures of the main characters through the museum. Learn more and rent.

Join the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (Manitoba Chapter) the day before Halloween for a spooktacular free Halloween hike in Birds Hill Provincial Park on October 30 at 11:00AM. They’ll have activities and treats for kids at the overlook tower about a third of the way along the Chickadee Trail. It’s a great chance to get outside and burn off some energy before the big day. The Chickadee Trail is a great hike for families, people who are new to hiking, and experienced outdoorsy types looking for an easy but rewarding trek in the woods. Just a short drive north of Winnipeg (or south of Selkirk), it’s one of the more popular trails in Birds Hill Provincial Park for a reason. Learn more and register.
