Looking for Halloween events for kids in Vancouver this year? We’ve rounded up the best family friendly Halloween events across Metro Vancouver, BC for 2026, from Burnaby and Richmond to Surrey and the North Shore. You’ll find free trick or treat events, pumpkin patches, gentle haunts for little ones and bigger scares for teens, with dates and prices.
Don’t forget to check out our other posts including:
A spooky celebration! Get into the Halloween spirit at BOO-seum — a free family-friendly Halloween party!
If you are looking for more of a quiet celebration, we will be hosting a Sensory Trick or Treat on Friday, October 30 from 4:00-8:00pm.
Jam packed, family friendly event. Interactive Spider man performance. Roaming magician & stilt walkers. Photo ops and Halloween themed market vendors + all your favourite vendors from the summer season.
This Halloween, Monster Machines are taking over Britannia Mine Museum, bringing plenty of mischief, delightful surprises, and family fun along the way.
From the historic underground tunnel to the Machine Shop, discover playful monsters inspired by the real machines that have played an essential role in both historic and modern mining operations.
Meet the monsters, uncover the stories behind the machines, and follow the Halloween fun above and below ground.
At the Vancouver Aquarium, fall is anything but ordinary. Here, jack-o’-lanterns are carved underwater, kelp becomes a maze, and unforgettable family memories are made alongside more than 65,000 incredible animals. Dive into the fun with underwater pumpkin carving shows running daily from October 17 and be among the first to experience the world premiere of the all-new Spookley the Square Pumpkin movie experience. Fin-tastic Fall runs from September 26 to October 31. Plan your visit at VancouverAquarium.com.
Kids Market is throwing its annual Halloweenie party on Halloween day, and it’s completely free! On Saturday, October 31, 2026 from 11 am to 5 pm, kids can dress up in their spookiest costume and strike a scary (or silly) pose at the spooky photo booth, get frightfully fun face painting, and enjoy live music in the foyer. Trick or treating runs from 11 am to 1 pm throughout the market, so bring your own loot bag. It’s a great low key, not so scary option for little ones before the evening rush.
Rocky Mtn Chocolate’s Halloween collection is full of spooky treats the kids will love!
Chocolate Zombie Brains, Skull Suckers, and fun Halloween Bomb Box, plus a Mummy Hot Chocolate Bomb you drop into warm milk for a cozy Halloween treat.
Perfect for Halloween parties, teacher gifts, or a special treat after trick-or-treating.
Fall fun is calling! Join us at Vandula Farms Pumpkin Patch Festival for a fun-filled weekend of pumpkins, Halloween magic, and family-friendly activities! Shop local at our Vendor Pop-Up, bring your furry friends for our Halloween Pet Parade, and show off your creativity in our Pumpkin Carving Competition – Prizes to be won! Plus, enjoy hayrides, face painting, balloon twisting, food trucks, the pumpkin patch, and so much more! Come make some spooky-sweet memories with us while supporting a great cause — proceeds from the festival support BC Children’s Hospital.
