At the top of Festival Drive
October 17-19, 23-26 ONLY!
Winnipeg. MB
Get ready for a wickedly fun time this October!
Get ready to grab your broomsticks, get dress up in your frightful finest on and buckle up for the spookiest and (not-so) frightful event of the year at Exhibition Park! Witchy Wonderland has all the thrills, chills, and giggles to keep every ghost, goblin, and grandma grinning from ear to ear.
Don’t forget to mingle with the roaming costumed characters—they love selfies almost as much as candy corn. As the nights wind down on October 17, 18, 23, 24 and 25, grab some hot cocoa and find the perfect spot to watch fireworks light up the night sky in a burst of pumpkin-orange and witchy-purple. It’s wholesome Halloween fun with just the right dash of cheeky mischief.
AND it’s all for a great cause! A portion of the gate admission will be donated to the Red River Exhibition Foundation, which provides scholarships and bursaries to deserving Manitobans to assist with the cost of their post-secondary studies in industry, commerce, tourism, agriculture and more.
Halloween Fun for Everyone
Here’s a frightful glance of what you’ll enjoy at Witchy Wonderland:
- Take a spin on the “Scary-Go-Round” and other kids’ rides, and hop aboard the (not-so) haunted train ride.
- Grab a tasty treat from our food vendors then dare to wander through the Ghoulish Graveyard, Extinction Park, Spidey’s Lair, Ship Wrecked, the Witches Coven and more! You never know if the next corner holds a friendly pumpkin or a not-so-scary vampire waving hello.
- Take in eerie but entertaining performances and meet your favourite cartoon character or farm animal.
- Little witches and sorcerers can bounce until their heart’s content in our inflatables (no shoe-eating werewolves allowed).
- Who needs a scary mask? Stop by the face painting booth to transform into a glittery skeleton, a fanged kitty, or even a rainbow zombie—your imagination’s the limit! Get your face painted with a boo-tiful creation that’s sure to impress your fellow .
- Don’t forget your smartphone–there will be plenty of photo ops to capture your (not-so) spine-chilling memories!
- And the best part? Everyone goes home with a smile… and maybe a little bit of glitter in their hair.
