Why is it a trend so have Halloween celebrations every weekend EXCEPT Halloween?
We went to canada’s wonderland’s camp spooky last year and it was the worst halloween we’ve been too! There were only 3 stations and my 7 year old daughter, who was looking forward to the treats she was gonna get, was so disappointed ’cause she only got 6 little candies! You can’t imagine the disappointment in her face and the halloween attractions were boring. We ended up walking around.?
Some of your events are from 2015. Please ensure they’re 2016 events.
The 2015 events mentioned (with 2016 TBA) will be updated with 2016 dates as soon as organisers update their events for 2016.
Newmarket museum sucked very boring for kids.
