2. Carve Pumpkins at Riverdale Farm
Especially suitable for kids under 10, the Riverdale Farm is 7.5 acres of greenland set in the heart of Toronto and features a variety of animals that can be visited at close range. In the spirit of Halloween, Boo Barn will delight children rather than give them a real scare.
This replica of early 20th century Ontario farm life lets kids step inside a world where cell phones, fast food and TV do not exist.
Riverdale Farm is in Old Cabbagetown, a beautifully gentrified and historic part of town, well worth visiting after carving your pumpkin.
3. Scare Yourself Silly at Screemers Better Dead Centre, Exhibition Place
Since 1992, Screemers indoor scream park has been scaring the bejeezus out of visitors. Six walkthrough haunted features, a theatre presentation and unlimited carnival rides on the Midway of Madness are included in the admission price to this fright fest.
