Nine Scares, One Ticket: Haunt Manor’s Biggest Season

Haunt Manor, on Lundy’s Lane in Niagara Falls, is not a walk-through on a tourist strip. It is an outdoor park, a hayride through the dark and nine attractions on a single ticket. It calls itself Canada’s largest outdoor haunted attraction, and its 17th season, which runs select nights until 31 October, is the biggest it has staged, according to its owner.

For anyone in Niagara for the Thanksgiving long weekend, it is open on the Sunday, 11 October.

What’s new: The Condemned

This year’s theme is The Condemned. The story, Haunt Manor says, starts in 1814, when a family fled the manor grounds after a run of mysterious deaths, and the park ties it to what it calls a real haunted manor from the War of 1812.

The centrepiece is The Condemned Hayride and Haunted House. You ride through a brand-new section of the park, then walk straight into the haunted house to see the “possession” up close. The park compares it to films like The Exorcist, The Conjuring and The Nun, which tells you the tone.

“Every year we ask how we can make the Manor scarier, and The Condemned is our answer,” said owner Phil Van Kleef. He said the park has opened a whole new section for the 17th season and brought together about 120 scare actors and staff.

The nine attractions

One ticket covers all of them, plus the scare zones between:

1. The Condemned Hayride (new)
2. The Condemned Haunted House (new)
3. Harvest Hollow Cedar Maze (new)
4. Trick or Treat Haunted House (new, three storeys)
5. Horror Legends Bayou Trail
6. Clown World
7. Redsaw Lab
8. Night Feast Haunted Nursery
9. The Dark Diner

Four of the nine are new this year, so even return visitors get a mostly fresh night.

When it’s open

• Fridays and Saturdays, 2 to 31 October, 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.
• Sundays 11, 18 and 25 October, 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.

The Sundays have shorter hours but are an option for anyone whose weekend runs Saturday to Monday, including Thanksgiving visitors. Halloween itself falls on a Saturday this year, the season’s last night.

What it costs

Tickets are $52 to $56 plus tax, and they must be reserved in advance at HauntManor.com or through Tixr. There is no walk-up plan to fall back on, so book before you drive.

It runs rain or shine. Dress for a cold, possibly wet October night outdoors, with shoes you can walk a maze and a dark trail in. Plan on a full evening: one ticket covers nine attractions plus the scare zones between them, and the Friday and Saturday sessions run four hours.

Who should skip it

Haunt Manor says it is not recommended for children under 10. With a possession-themed haunted house and about 120 actors in the dark, take that seriously. For a family outing with younger kids, look elsewhere.

The rest of the site

Combat Laser Tag, Falls Escape Rooms and Axe Throwing share the site and run year round, which makes it easier to build a group night around a booking. Haunt Manor says it welcomes more than 9,000 guests a season.

Plan it

• Where: 9387 Lundy’s Lane, Niagara Falls, Ontario.
• When: Fridays and Saturdays to 31 October, plus Sundays 11, 18 and 25 October.
• Book: advance tickets only, at HauntManor.com or Tixr. $52 to $56 plus tax.
• Age: not recommended under 10.
• Also on site: Combat Laser Tag, Falls Escape Rooms and Axe Throwing, open year round.
• Pair it: a Niagara weekend, with the Falls by day and the Manor by night.

For advisors

• Who to sell it to: groups of adult friends, couples and teens with parents, especially Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo-area clients looking for a Halloween weekend without a flight.
• Package it: a Niagara Falls hotel night with tickets for a Friday or Saturday. The park closes at 11 p.m., so clients will want somewhere to stay rather than drive home.
• Book the date first: tickets are advance-only, so lock in Halloween weekend early.
• Corporate and groups: the on-site laser tag, escape rooms and axe throwing make an easy add-on for team outings.
