Oct 22 - 31

Get ready for an ALL-NEW wickedly fun event this October!

Grab your broomsticks, dress up in your frightful finest and get ready for a Halloween adventure filled with bouncing, dancing, glowing, giggling – and just the right amount of mischief!

Witchy Wonderland is back at Exhibition Park with a re-imagined Halloween experience designed with families in mind. This year, we’re shaking things up! Instead of taking a spin on the Scary-Go-Round or other midway rides, Witchy Wonderland is becoming a Halloween playground packed with hands-on fun and interactive experiences. Bounce like you’re riding a broomstick at “Boo-Bounce” – Winnipeg’s largest bouncer park, dance beneath lasers and lights in the “Electric Cauldron”, explore spooky themed areas, meet costumed characters, meet friendly farm animals and so much more!

Bring your little witches, wizards, ghosts and goblins for some wholesome Halloween fun where the thrills are playful, the chills are cheeky, and everyone is invited to join the party!

Costumes are encouraged. Smiles are required. Broomsticks are optional.

Halloween Fun for Everyone!

Here’s a quick glance at what’s waiting for you at a whole new kind of Witchy Wonderland this year. Bring the whole family and get ready for an evening of Halloween fun, family memories and just a little bit of witchy mischief.

  • Boo-Bounce: Winnipeg’s Largest Inflatable Park Little witches and sorcerers can bounce, tumble and jump to their heart’s content at Boo-Bounce, featuring 11 inflatable attractions for hours of high-energy fun. Just remember: shoes stay off, and absolutely no shoe-eating werewolves are allowed!
  • All aboard!  Hop aboard the Pumpkin Patch Express for a Halloween train ride through the new Tunnel of Terror. Don’t worry – it’s more giggles than goosebumps!
  • The Electric Cauldron – Where we mix beats instead of potions!  Step inside the Electric Cauldron and bust out your best dance moves to EDM beats as lasers and lights turn your visit into one giant Halloween dance party.
  • Hooves n’ Howls Barnyard Halloween isn’t just for witches and ghosts! Meet some of our favourite two and four-legged friends at the Hooves n’ Howls Barnyard. Get up close to farm animals, learn something new and discover a little bit of country charm in the middle of your Halloween adventure.
  • Ghostlight Grove  Feeling brave? Venture into our glowing spider house where you’ll encounter some creepy creatures, spooky surprises and plenty of Halloween atmosphere. It’s a little eerie, a little mysterious and a whole lot of fun!
  • Frightfully Fabulous Face Painting  Stop by the face painting booth and transform yourself into a glittery skeleton, fanged kitty, rainbow zombie or whatever magical creation your imagination can dream up. (Face painting is an additional cost and is not included with gate admission.)
  • Fireworks On six evenings, grab a cup of hot cocoa, cozy up with your family and find the perfect spot to watch the night sky come alive with a spectacular fireworks display!
  • Grab a tasty treat from one of our food vendors, then set off on a Halloween adventure through our themed areas. You never know what or who might be waiting around the next corner. A friendly superhero? A mischievous witch? A (not-so) scary vampire? Keep your eyes open!
  • The Spellcasting Stage Take in entertaining performances and meet your favourite character. Keep your eyes peeled throughout the evening for the roaming costumed characters! Say hello, grab a photo and make some Halloween memories with your favourite spooky (and not-so-spooky) friends. And don’t forget your camera – they love a selfie almost as much as they love candy corn!
  • AND SOOOO MUCH MORE! All sorts of fan favourites are making a return… the mining tower, dinosaurs, the magical sandbox and more! You’ll have to be here to believe it!
  • The best part? Everyone goes home with a smile… and maybe a little bit of glitter in their hair.

Whether you’re bouncing through Boo-Bounce, dancing beneath the lasers, meeting barnyard friends, exploring the spooky corners of Witchy Wonderland or watching fireworks paint the night sky, there’s something for every member of the family.

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.

Witchy Wonderland takes place at Exhibition Park on October 22-25 and 29-31.
NO TIMED ENTRY Arrive at your own convenience. Tickets purchased online can be used any day of the event. Admission can also be paid at the entrance gate.
