Are you looking for something thrilling to do this Halloween?

The Friends of Fort Battleford invite you to test your bravery by attending the 10th Annual Halloween Haunted Fort Saturday, Oct. 24.

If you think Fort Battleford is only about history, think again! This program was developed to offer the community something a little different in the off season. You can be sure that it is not for the faint of heart. In fact, we strongly recommend only those aged 13 and older attend. 

All five historic buildings are transformed into Halloween haunted houses, designed to make even the bravest souls scream in fear. You never know what to expect from one building to the next.

The doors will open at 7:30 p.m. and tickets can be purchased only at the door. Tickets are $14.70 each and after purchase participants are invited to hang out in the visitor centre where there will be snacks and beverages. When your ticket number is called, it is your turn to ride the carriage to the Fort and begin this ultimate Halloween experience.

You will be dropped off at the first building where a greeter will let you into the building. Will you be brave enough to walk through that door to discover what’s inside? When you find your way out of that first building, you will walk to the second building to experience yet another blood curdling Halloween theme followed by the third and fourth buildings, each with their own unique blend of terror.

But only if you are brave enough will you be able to enter all four buildings inside the Fort. But wait, it’s not over yet. The fifth building is outside the fort, closer to the visitor centre. This is the biggest building by far! Will you escape or be trapped inside forever? Just follow the lighted path from the Fort to that last building and encounter the evil within.

Last year’s Halloween Haunted Fort was attended by folks from as far away as North Dakota, Montana, Prince Albert, Saskatoon, Lloydminster, Edmonton and Regina. There were a record number in attendance and even more are expected this year. Every year this event gets bigger and better, so round up your bravest friends and family and come to Fort Battleford to Dare the Scare!

This program is made possible by Parks Canada’s Sask Â鶹´«Ã½AV Field Unit, the staff of Fort Battleford, and the countless, dedicated volunteers. Without the efforts and dedication of the volunteers this program would not be possible. We, The Friends of Fort Battleford are happy and excited to be supporting this amazing program once again in this 10th Annual Halloween Haunted Fort.
