The Huble Homestead Historic Site is gearing up for its annual Halloween Spooktacular, inviting families and thrill-seekers alike for a night of frights and fun on Saturday, Oct. 26.
Although the site is currently closed for the season, it will reopen for this event from 3-8 p.m.
Family admission to the Halloween Spooktacular is $10, which includes all activities except the House of Horrors, which has an additional charge.
The pumpkin carving and magic shows are supported by Kiwanis Prince George, along with assistance from Northern Routes Cultural Experience.
This year’s festivities include activities suitable for all ages. During the daylight hours, families can enjoy hourly magic shows featuring William the Conjurer, take strolls through the graveyard, participate in crafts and carve pumpkins in the Welcome Barn. Costume contests will also add to the festive atmosphere.
For those looking for a thrill, there's a haunted maze and the main attraction, the House of Horrors. The historic house will be transformed for chilling tours, available for an additional $4 per person. New for 2024, visitors can reserve specific 30-minute timeslots to minimize wait times, with tickets available for purchase online in advance or at the door.
The House of Horrors is recommended for ages 12 and up, though parental discretion is advised for younger guests.
Guests can warm up between activities at the General Store, where hot snacks and beverages will be available. Attendees are encouraged to dress warmly and bring flashlights to enhance their spooky experience.
Huble Homestead is located 40 km north of Prince George off Highway 97 on Mitchell Road, and is situated on the traditional territory of the Lheidli T’enneh. For more information or to purchase tickets in advance, visit www.hublehomestead.ca or call 250-564-7033.
