Fright Nights at Playland 2024 in Vancouver

Every October, the Pacific National Exhibition (PNE) invites kids and adults to experience Halloween fun. Playland transforms into Fright Nights, a thrilling Halloween-themed event featuring haunted houses, rides, eerie décor, and live performances.

Attractions

Fright Nights boasts nearly a dozen haunted houses, including The Bloodshed (perhaps the scariest one), The Void, Keepers Doll Factory, Darkness, and more. Thrill-seekers can also enjoy exciting rides like Bug Whirled, Dizzy Drop, and Tea Cups. It's the perfect place for a Halloween that's both terrifying and fun.

Schedule

Fright Nights operates on select nights from October 4 to 31. Hours are usually from 6 pm to 11 pm or from 6 pm to 12 am, depending on the date. Weekends are historically the busiest times, so consider visiting on weekdays for quicker access to rides and attractions.
