The Haunted Manor & Ghostly Mini Golf | October 16th – 31st
Two brand new events are happening this month at Nanaimo North Town Centre, just in time for spooky season!
The Haunted Manor
A spooky walkthrough awaits guests 12+ at the Haunted Manor in Centre Court.
Long ago, a strange old woman lived alone in the Manor.
As the years passed, her visitors grew fewer and fewer.
No one knew much about her, or what happened behind her locked doors.
Strange sounds began to echo from within. Late at night, shadows moved through the windows. It seemed she was not alone. Yet no one was ever seen entering or leaving.
Then, one day, the woman vanished.
The Manor was left abandoned. But to this day, some still report hearing odd noises and seeing movement in the darkness leaving them to wonder if the old woman ever actually left at all…
Manor Hours of Operation*:
Monday-Friday: 2pm-6pm
Saturday – Sunday: 12pm-4pm
*Line may be cut off earlier to ensure all guests have a chance to experience the Haunted Manor.
Ghostly Mini Golf
Putt your way through the pumpkin patch at Ghostly Mini Golf in Lower Centre Court! It’s Halloween fun for all ages.
