Event Details

Enjoy Fall Fun at the Met! Metropolis at Metrotown has upped the ante for Fall Fun with exciting, new activities for the season!

From September 16 til October 31, Metropolis at Metrotown will feature a plethora of fun activities for all ages to enjoy, including a partnership with Tourism Burnaby to amplify the spooky spirit. The partnership sees the Burnaby Halloween Festival’s return to the Met fall experience, with an exciting haunted house escape room, pie eating contest, and pumpkin carving show, along with other Fall Fun at the Met activities.

Throughout the month of October, Ghost Hunt: Hauntington Manor, an escape room 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 and 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 can be booked online at www.bamboozledeg.ca/ghost-hunt.

Attend a pumpkin-carving palooza on October 12 from 11am – 5pm. Witness a parade of expertly carved jack-o-lanterns by master pumpkin carver Michael Valeroso in the Grand Court – a perfect backdrop for Halloween photos.

On October 19, don your stretchy pants and head over to the Met’s Grand Court for a good old-fashioned pie-eating contest. The Pie Hole will host a pop-up shop from 11am-3pm (or until pies sell out) with pie-eating contests at 1pm and 2pm. Two contests will determine who can scarf down the most pies, with the winners earning a $300 Metropolis at Metrotown gift card. 

Glam up for Halloween. From October 18 – 19, Halloween beauty workshops, hosted by MAC, will showcase three haunting Halloween looks to elevate your makeup for the holiday. The Halloween beauty demos will take place on the ground level outside of Bath & Body Works on Friday, October 18 at 3pm, 4pm, and 5pm; and Saturday, October 19 at 1pm, 2pm, and 3pm. 

Marvel at magical displays. Transformed into picture-perfect photo backdrops, Metropolis at Metrotown’s fall décor this year is anchored by a Grand Court display of giant pumpkins stacked 34 feet high, with mice, giant leaves, and grass vines intertwined throughout.

Get into Halloween Spirits. Kids of all ages can celebrate Halloween at Metropolis at Metrotown through a range of activities and experiences, including a balloon twister demonstration, get their faces painted by Kidoodles Art Studio, or pose in their Halloween costumes at Photo Crumb photo booth on October 31 from 1–5 p.m., or go trick-or-treating at select retailers throughout the day.

Fall Fun at the Met begins from September 16 and run until October 30, 2024. The shopping centre is open Monday to Saturday, 10am – 9pm, and Sunday, 11am – 7pm. For more information, visit www.metropolisatmetrotown.com
