A 10th-anniversary castle experience
Casa Loma's signature Halloween attraction is back for its 10th anniversary, turning the castle grounds, tunnels and gardens into a sprawling after-dark horror experience. It is more than a haunted-house walkthrough: this self-guided journey combines an unusual historic setting with immersive horror, theatrical production, drinks, music and projection mapping.
The approximately 2 km route takes more than an hour and moves through the lower gardens, underground tunnels, atmospheric sets and other areas of the property. Expect theatrical horror characters, immersive installations, animatronics, special effects, dramatic lighting and large-scale characters.
At the midway, guests can purchase drinks at the Captain Morgan Bar, with live DJ entertainment. The experience concludes with a large-scale 3D projection-mapping finale on Casa Loma. It can suit Halloween date nights, groups and visitors looking for a substantial Toronto seasonal experience.
