Halloween festivities at the Centre de la nature de Laval

Any excuse is a good excuse to celebrate and have fun! But let's face it, there's something special about Halloween, a little bit of fun that we like to exploit. This year, to celebrate this uncompromising holiday, we invite you to take a trip to the Nature Center. Every weekend, from October 7 to 29, the days are filled with festivities. A haunted house, labyrinth, horticultural activities and a host of surprises await visitors. You're invited to come in disguise.

Discover the program here.

For the kids, don't miss the iSaute horror night on October 27, the through the haunted forest at Bois de l'Équerre l2 October and the Halloween activities at the Centre d'interprétation de l'eau (C.I.EAU) on October 28 and 29.

A different way to celebrate Halloween

To liven up your Halloween party, include some spine-chilling games in your program! Several options are available to you, such as reserving a table at a game bistro like the Randolph pub Centropolis to take part in a themed evening on site, or rent or buy games to play at home.

Of course, you can't have a Halloween party without sweets!

Take a stroll to Centropolis to prepare for the evening. Stop by the specialist boutique KandJu to stock up on sweets. A vast selection in bulk to suit all tastes.

***Eating! The exhibition that feeds*information to sink your teeth into**

Halloween and candy are a bit like Tom and Jerry or Batman and Robin. They go hand in hand. Good news, at least as far as little monsters and candy are concerned. It's okay to use Halloween as an excuse to teach kids about the importance of eating right. And not just to prevent tooth decay! An original way of doing this could be to invite the whole family to visit Eat! L'exposition qui nourrit (available until September 2024) or the permanent exhibition 4,3,2,1... Santé! at Musée de la santé Armand-Frappier.
