If you like scares, we’ve found them! At this time of year, our family loves to test our wits by checking out new Haunted Houses or revisiting old favourites. I am always so impressed by the creativity and effort individuals have put into creating a fun experience to share with the community. In many cases, people are opening their homes to complete strangers and contributing all proceeds to charity. We want to thank all those for their tireless efforts to make our Halloween a little more magical!
I have tried my best to separate the Haunted Houses into age categories. My kids have both always enjoyed the scare experience so my ratings may be slightly skewed towards that.
