A beast lives deep in the woods of MacLeod Park. Every year, this ravenous, blood-sick creature rises from its yearly slumber to satisfy its hunger at Cannington Haunted Attraction. Only when it has gorged itself on the atmosphere of fear, the sound of screams, and the uncomfortable laughs of false bravado can it return to its slumber to wait for next October.
You have to see the evils that await you at Cannington Haunted Attraction to believe them.
Features include two outdoor wooded trails and an indoor barn maze, all of which are transformed into immersive horror-themed environments complete with live scare actors and some shocking surprises.
Side attractions include a mini-escape room, axe throwing, food and craft vendors, and a decorated museum.
Come experience the greatest Haunted Attraction in Durham Region!
Ages 8+, free parking on site.
The call is out to every department of The Bureau for every available field agent in training to descend and get to the bottom of the flood of reports that have been coming in from all corners of the area. Lights in the sky, creatures in the woods around town, abductions and experimentation, and human mutations in remote areas are just scraping the surface. Our military assets are currently occupied holding back pro-extraterrestrial demonstrators whose gatherings have spilled into riots. Your mission, as a new agent, is to collect information on these sightings and encounters, without directly engaging as we've already lost too many seasoned veterans, then report back so The Bureau can create a plan of action to protect Earth.
If you're stepping through the gates of Harrowville Hills, you've taken a wrong turn so make sure to move quickly to find your way out; the locals don't take kindly to outsiders. Once a booming company town, its founding dating back to mid-1800s Victorian Era, this area once thrived with blue collar workers from far and wide moving in to take up their trades. However, decades of resource and safety mismanagement, employee abuses, supply shortages, company scrip keeping those looking to leave trapped, and a never-ending supply of backwoods whiskey have left nothing but bitterness and hate here. The mines are depleted, the fisheries are dry, no animals remain to be trapped, the timber is rotting, and supplies from the outside come less frequently than ever before; all that's left for the residents is to work themselves to death to scratch out a meager living in Harrowville Hills.
For the first time ever, our most secretive resident, Dr. Agar Hondensis, has announced his intention to open his laboratory to the public so we can see what happens behind the scenes at our very own Cannington Botanical. Aside from the odd black cargo truck arriving in the night, we've not heard from him or any member of the staff for almost 20 years. In the press release, it's stated that there's now an active need for research assistants, test subjects, and general lab labourers. This lab's goals are said to be the investigation of native and exotic plant and fungus species' potential to improve human health and well being, increase crop yields to address food insecurity, and “poke at some pet theories.” Dr. Hondensis has promised that this tour of Cannington Botanical will encourage visiting applicants to “put down roots” and really feed themselves into the scientific process.
Cannington Haunted Attraction is open the last 2 Fridays & Saturdays in October, from 6:30 pm - 9:30 pm.
Cannington Haunted Attraction is located at 91 Elliot St, Cannington, ON L0E 1E0.
