Click Here for DirectionsIt's baaaaack. Museum After Dark returns for this spooky season. The dolls are ready to wreak havoc on the museum and are already trying to break out of their boxes to come and play. The big event happens on October 26th from 1-6 p.m. We stay open a little later to add to the creepiness and let guests come into our "haunted" museum.
Want to commence the Halloween festivities in Pitt Meadows' spookiest old building? Join us for Museum After Dark (M.A.D.). It is a fearfully fun-filled drop-in program for the whole family and is open to all ages. Drop in during open hours for the week before Halloween to take the M.A.D. Scavenger Hunt, where you will be challenged to find such dreaded treasures as Polly Pink Eye and her best friend Creepy Carla, the Pitt Meadows Merman, as well as delicious delicacies such as the deep-charred rat, free-range organic eyeballs, and Tongues on Sticks. You can also take part in our spooky craft table, filled to the brim with haunted crafts!
We're extremely excited to welcome back Haunted History BC's Gina and Victoria for Museum After Dark! While we are still solidifying our plans, we're ready to bring you more Halloween fun with their help! For more information about Haunted History BC check out their website here.
Admission is by donation.
*****
What is the difference between the October 26th event and the other dates? The difference is on October 26th, Our wonderful guests from Haunted History BC Gina and Victoria will be joining us and bringing a special Monster Mash scavenger hunt for you to enjoy! Every family that completes their hunt will walk away with a pumpkin. We also stay open a little later, dim the lights, turn up the spooky noises, and enjoy the atmosphere of being open a little later. Anytime you want to attend Museum After Dark you will complete the same regular scavenger hunt, and do the same crafts.
What time should we attend? You can drop by any time during our open hours. However, we encourage you to arrive no later than half an hour before our closing time to ensure that you have enough time to complete the hunt.
How much is it? This is a free event for anyone who wants to attend. Our little ghosties do say that if you feel compelled to leave a donation we would be appreciative!
What can we expect? During Museum After Dark, the Museum is decorated to the brim with creepy and spooky decorations and hunt items. We have a scavenger hunt where participants have to find all the items on the list and get a prize. We also have outdoor games (weather pending),a craft table, sticker colouring, a witches sensory kitchen, and lots of photo opportunities!
Where can we park? We have two parking lots that you can use. Our first is at the back of the General Store Site (Where the event takes place) which is accessed through the West Coast Express Parking lot. Our second parking lot is across the street at the Hoffmann Shop, and then we ask guests to use the crosswalk to come across to the main site.
Is it appropriate for all ages? We try to make this event as family-friendly as possible. However, if your child is prone to finding things like ghosts and witches scary they might want to attend our October 30th and 31st sessions as the lights are on and it's brighter.
I have more questions! Please feel free to email us any questions that you may have and we will do our best to answer them.
Happy Halloween!
