Potters House of Horrors

Li’l Haunters
Potters Nursery | October 4 – November 2
12530 72 Avenue
Not only does Potters offer Family Hour, but they also boast two mini haunted houses that aren’t too dark or scary and contain no animatronics or actors. The first house, Mystic Village, includes a slightly creepy ghost town that sets the tone for the fun to follow at the second house, Spooky Castle. Other neat stuff includes a basketball/baseball toss and table games such as air hockey and foosball.
Bose Corn Maze & Pumpkin Patch
Corn Maze until October 14 | Pumpkin Patch until October 31
64th Avenue & 156th Street
Every year the Bose Corn Maze is cut with an epic design meant to be seen from an aerial view. This year, the maze is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a maze featuring the Scouts Canada logo. The corn maze is open until October 14 this year, and those who like it extra challenging will love trying this at night. Guests bring flashlights and work their way through the maze in the dark. Once you’ve found your way out, a big fire pit awaits where you can roast marshmallows and make some well-deserved s’mores. Bose’s pumpkin patch is open until October 31, with rides every Saturday and Sunday.

The more timid passengers will love the Pumpkin Patch train as it travels through the decorated forest to the pumpkin patch!
