Screamtastic: Field of Screams returning to Calgary with six haunted houses

Cobb’s Adventure Park is always a treat and this year, its team is going for the tricks and scares for Halloween with the return of Field of Screams.

For the spooky season, Cobb’s Adventure Park transforms into a “terrifying, thrilling, and spine-tingling terror show.”

You can check out one of this year’s six haunted houses, which all touch on some classic scary scenarios: Buried Alive, Haunted Mansion, Mad House, Scary Tales, Aliens, and Death Trap.

Death Trap takes parkgoers through a 6,000-square-foot maze, which sounds fine… until you get to any “dead end” where you are greeted by some characters you probably don’t want to spend your weekend with. You may also want to watch your step (and your back) in this massive spooky maze.

Along with some haunted houses, there will be tractor rides, pedal cars, some giant puzzles, and a bonfire, plus games like archery tag, and black light mini golf.

There are also a ton of great food options from food trucks including ice cream and mini donuts to reward yourself for surviving a scary night out.

And what would Halloween be without a special candy store on-site?

If you need to lower the heart rate after the scares or want a moment of zen before a thrilling night, the kangaroo petting zoo will be open until 8 pm.
