Halloween Pumpkin Hunt at Fort York
Family/Children · Halloween · History · Museum
About this event
Search the grounds of Fort York for pumpkins that have been hidden by the soldiers of the War of 1812. After you've recovered your pumpkin, bring it to the Blue Barracks for decorating! Paint it, draw on it, even clothe it to look like a Fort York soldier. Take your pumpkin home with you where it can guard your door all throughout the spooky season. This event is open for children aged 3 - 12. All children must be accompanied by an adult guardian at all times.
