There’s lots to BOOOOOO – we mean DO at The Rooms!
Have a blast and get into the ghoulish spirit of Halloween with some of our spook-takular activities! Make some creepy-crawlies, spider webs, ghosts or masks at our self-guided craft stations.
There are friendly ghosts at The Rooms – how many can you find? Go on a ghost walk to see if you can count them all (some clues will be provided at the craft station). Enter your answer for a chance to win a prize!
Visit the theatre and check out a selection of short animations playing on a loop from the National Film Board collection. Each story teaches us about resilience and strength – even during scary Halloween Times! Total time is approximately 40 minutes

Today's Events & Programs
Fishing for Cod
For centuries, fishing for cod has played a vital role in the lives of the peoples of Newfoundland and Labrador. Generations of fishing men, women, and children made use of the land and sea to sustain them and spent their lives “making fish.”
Join us each day for an interpretive guided tour in one of our galleries. From the story of the cod fishery to visiting a current art exhibition to a Family Rainbow Tour, there is something for everyone.
Each tour is approximately 30–40 minutes and is included in the cost of admission. Free for Rooms members.
Join architects Philip Pratt, Charles Henley, and Paul Blackwood of PHB Group for an insightful and engaging conversation about the design journey behind The Rooms. Perched above St. John's, this architectural landmark—clad in local granite and wood, brushed aluminum, and sweeping glass—offers a stunning presence and panoramic views of the city and harbour below.
This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from the minds behind the building’s bold and thoughtful design. Learn how vision, place, and materials came together to shape an enduring cultural icon.
Cost: $15 plus HST. 10% discount for Rooms members. Get your tickets online or by calling (709) 757-8090.
