Calling all monsters, witches, and superheroes — the Spooky Squad needs YOU!
Planning Halloween activities for kids in Vancouver? Our Family Trick-or-Treat Trolley Tour is one of the most fun family Halloween events in Vancouver this October — a daytime adventure built especially for young kids, featuring candy hunts, a costume contest, karaoke, and a ride through Stanley Park and some of Vancouver’s best-decorated Halloween streets.

Best suited for kids ages 3–10. Younger toddlers are welcome to tag along, and older kids are always welcome too. Please note: every group of children must be accompanied by an adult who stays with them for the entire tour, including during both candy hunt stops.
