This Halloween, the dead walk again on the Plains of Abraham in Quebec City, including a fun and challenging family-friendly Haunted Tower and Fantastic Rally at the Martello Tower 2.
Open October 22, 29 and 30 from 1 p.m. until 4:30 p.m., children age 5 and older can venture onto the roof of the tower and from there descend into its dark and spooky labyrinth. While finding their way through the maze, young visitors will travel through a spaceship and treasure island, and encounter scarecrows, witches, mummies, ghosts and other supernatural figures — even Harry Potter is rumored to be making an appearance.
Those clever children who manage to find their way out of the haunted tower will then move into the Joan of Arc Garden for a self-guided tour of fun and frightening Halloween decorations. The entire experience costs only $2 per participant.
On Sunday (October 23) from noon to 4:30 p.m., the tower and garden will host a family day. Along with a chance to try the labyrinth and see the special Halloween decor, visitors can also ride a mini-train through the garden or play on the inflatable games. For a bit of educational fun, Jack Rackham and his pirates will teach children about life on the high seas.
