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

  • From Far Away, by Shira Avni & Serene El-haj Daoud (2000) 6 mins
  • Wapos Bay: Tricks 'n' Treats, by Melanie Jackson (2007) 24 mins
