Celebrate the spooky season at Discovery Harbour this month! Each evening, visitors can walk or drive through over 5,000 decorated artificial pumpkins, enjoy the lights, music, spooky escape room, and even grab a coffin ride.
Halloween Fun for Everyone
There is something for everyone at Pumpkinferno. The main attraction is a spectacular walk or drive-through Halloween display featuring roving performers, Grim Reaper’s Grove, Wander Scarecrow Alley, Macabre Mansion, and a haunted ship display in the H.M.S. Tecumseth Centre.
Walking tours of Pumpkinferno are Thursdays through Sundays and drive-through day is on Wednesdays.
Halloween Escape Rooms and Coffin Rides
Not only are visitors treated to the dazzling pumpkin light display, but there are also creepy escape rooms and a scary coffin ride to add to the fun. The main escape room requires a separate ticket, but entrance to the entire Pumpkinferno event is included. For a faster escape experience, there is a $5, 5-minute, 5-person mini escape room complete with a jump-scare for brave individuals over 13 years old.
The popular Coffin Rides are back again this year as well. What could be scarier than climbing into a coffin by yourself? Coffin Rides are only $5 but this attraction isn’t suggested for kids under 13.
In addition, each night highlights a different featured performer. From fire tricks to stilts and magic, visitors are dazzled by their incredible talents.
Getting to Pumpkinferno
There are a few ways to get to Pumpkinferno. Parking is available at Discovery Harbour, but weekends can get a little busy. To avoid the crowded parking lot, take the free park and ride shuttle bus that runs every 15 to 20 minutes from 5:30 pm until 10:00 pm on Fridays and Saturdays only. Catch the bus at 250 Fox Street, Penetanguishene.
