Fall Fun at the MET

This year, Metropolis at Metrotown has enlisted the help of Tourism Burnaby to dial up the Halloween element by incorporating the Burnaby Halloween Festival into the Fall Fun at the Met experience.

Décor by Lazy Wizard
As with every holiday, Metropolis at Metrotown will transform into a breezy fall tableau with plenty of picture-perfect photo backdrops. The centre’s fall décor is anchored by a Grand Court display of giant pumpkins stacked 34 feet high, with mice, giant leaves, and grass vines intertwined throughout.

Halloween Escape Room by Bamboozled - (Oct 1 – 31)
Ghost Hunt: Hauntington Manor, produced by Bamboozled Escape Games, invites groups of two to eight players to enter a dimly lit mansion, armed with a ghostbustin’ laser, to solve puzzles and complete action-based tasks to save the manor’s lost souls. This 25-minute experience is designed for adults; while there is no gore, the startling and spooky atmosphere requires that children 7 to 12 must be accompanied by an adult (ages 19+); youth ages 13 and older can participate on their own. Reservations are encouraged and can be booked online.
