Fort Edmonton Park has a lot of events going on this year. From a Midway Freakshow, to special movie screenings and the ever popular "Spooktacular", they have something for everyone. There are family friendly events and a couple of nights just for 18 years old and up.
The website is a little frustrating in that you have to click on the "get your tickets" button to get a full description of each event. There is a "scare scale" on each event as well letting you know how terrifying each one is before you book. Ticket prices vary. Early bird specials are available currently.
There are also many different activities that you and the family can enjoy at Prairie Gardens. Tam and her crew are wonderful entertainers. (Most activities are weather dependant)
There is a corn maze, petting zoo, haunted house, roving characters in costume, pumpkin cannon and much, much more!
Coming from this foodie; there is some pretty spectacular pumpkin pie on sale in the concession area.
For "Scares that care", the Night of Fear Festival in St. Albert would be right up your alley. There are some very talented members of the Edmonton haunt community working on this project. It should be a great show.
"Haunted House, Haunted Graveyard, Fortune Tellers, Actors, Costume Contests, Kids Party, Food Vendors, and over 50 local businesses all come together at the Night of Fear Festival. A portion of our proceeds goes to the Little Warriors"
