Halloween Haunt runs 21 nights this year, September 25 through November 1, 2026: every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, plus three Thursdays in October, and it's the 21st year Canada's Wonderland has run the event. The headline change for 2026: Halloween Haunt is now included with any park admission or season pass, something the park has never done before. The catch is the six haunted mazes moved behind a brand-new paid pass. Here's the full picture, including the part most guides skip: what's actually free and what still costs you.

Halloween Haunt hasn't started yet: Canada's Wonderland opens the season Friday, Sept. 25, and runs 21 nights through Sunday, Nov. 1, every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, plus three Thursdays in October. Fridays and those Thursdays are Haunt only, running 6 p.m. to midnight on Fridays and 6 to 11 p.m. on Thursdays. Saturdays and Sundays add Tricks and Treats during the day, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., before Haunt takes over from 6 to 11 p.m.

On Fridays and Thursdays, the mazes and scare zones open right at 6 with the event. Saturdays and Sundays, they don't start until 6:30, though The Conjuring: Beyond Fear opens at noon those two days if you want to fit it in before dark.
Hours are from Canada's Wonderland's operating calendar as of September 20, 2026. Parks do adjust hours, so check the official calendar the week you go.
Six mazes sit behind the Haunted Attractions Pass this year:
The Conjuring: Beyond Fear isn't one of the six and isn't on the Haunted Attractions Pass. It's a roughly 20-minute interactive experience where you play paranormal investigators through scenes from the Conjuring Universe, Annabelle included. It's sold as its own reservation, from $30 CAD, and recommended for 13 and up.
Seven scare zones come with regular admission, no maze pass needed: CarnEvil, Gates of Terror, Kingdom of Carnage, Necropolis, Streets of the Undead, Trick-or-Treat Street, and Wicked Hollow.
Live entertainment is included too: Inferno, a fire-and-stunt show with demons and contortionists, and Head Bangers, LED-lit drummers pounding out a techno set, plus other live bands scattered through the night. Showtimes are only posted in the Six Flags app, not on the website, so pull that up once you're inside.
Formerly Camp Spooky. A Monster Bash costume contest, a Trick-or-Treat Adventure with character meet-and-greets, a family-friendly corn maze, a lighter daytime cut of Spirit Manor, a PEANUTS costume party, The Spectral Sisters performance, Wicked Hollow meet-and-greets, and the Pumpkin Patches. Scare-free, all ages, included with admission.
Six mazes (Haunted Attractions Pass required), seven scare zones, Inferno, Head Bangers, and rides running in the dark. Costumes are allowed before 6 p.m. only; after that they're not permitted anywhere in the park on Haunt nights, except for kids under 10 at daytime Tricks & Treats.
Bags after 6 p.m. are capped at 12" x 12" x 6" and subject to search. Guests can enter the park until 10 p.m. (11 p.m. on Fridays), and re-entry closes at 7 p.m., so a dinner run off-property can end your night early.
These were the official prices on Canada's Wonderland's event and ticket pages as of September 20, 2026. Everything is in Canadian dollars, before processing fees and tax.
We don't sell tickets or passes, and we don't do affiliate links. This is what Canada's Wonderland offers so you know your options before you buy from them.
Because the Haunted Attractions Pass is priced per night, picking your night matters for your wallet, not just for shorter lines. We don't have verified crowd data for Halloween Haunt specifically, so don't take anyone's "best night" guess as gospel, ours included. Check the crowd calendar below for the daytime picture on your date, then confirm your exact night on the official Halloween Haunt page before you go.
Yes, for the first time ever. Halloween Haunt itself, including the seven scare zones, night rides, and live shows, now comes with any park admission ticket or season pass. In past years it needed its own separate event ticket. What's still not included: the six haunted mazes, which need a Haunted Attractions Pass, and The Conjuring: Beyond Fear, which needs its own reservation.
The park restructured the event for 2026. Halloween Haunt access is now free with regular admission, but the six mazes moved behind a new paid Haunted Attractions Pass, from $10 CAD a night or $49 CAD for the whole season, and that applies to season passholders too. If you're planning several maze nights, price the season pass against your dates, since single nights start at $10 CAD and climb on peak nights.
Canada's Wonderland says Halloween Haunt is not recommended for guests under 13. The Conjuring: Beyond Fear is recommended for 13 and up with parental discretion for intense content. The bigger factor for families is the chaperone policy: starting at 4 p.m. daily, anyone 15 or under needs a chaperone who's 21 or older. For scare-free fun, Tricks & Treats during the day is built for younger kids.
It's now Tricks & Treats, presented by Haribo. Same idea, a scare-free daytime event with a costume contest, a Trick-or-Treat Adventure, a family-friendly corn maze, and a lighter daytime version of the Spirit Manor maze. It runs select days September 26 through November 1, 2026 and is included with admission.
Three big changes: Halloween Haunt is included with admission for the first time ever, the six mazes moved behind a new paid Haunted Attractions Pass, and Camp Spooky was renamed Tricks & Treats presented by Haribo. The park's chaperone policy for guests 15 and under, piloted at Halloween Haunt last year, is also now permanent and runs park-wide all season, not just at night.
Haunt opens Friday, Sept. 25, 2026 and runs 21 nights through Sunday, Nov. 1: every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, plus three Thursdays in October, the 15th, 22nd and 29th.
Haunt runs 6 p.m. to midnight on Fridays and 6 to 11 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays, and the three October Thursdays. Mazes and scare zones open with the event on Fridays and Thursdays, but not until 6:30 on Saturdays and Sundays.
Your Halloween Haunt night includes Leviathan and Yukon Striker in the dark. The app tracks Canada's Wonderland's ride waits live, so you can time your coaster laps between mazes and scare zones. Get it on the App Store before you go.
