North Vancouver’s Holiday Inn Grounds Transforms into a Haunted Hotel for Halloween

A community-powered event raising funds for local causes, running now through November 2.

This community-powered Halloween experience, hosted on the grounds of the Holiday Inn North Vancouver, invites families, friends, and even furry companions to check in… if they dare!

Running now through November 2, 2025, The Haunt-Inn transforms the hotel’s outdoor spaces into a world of animatronics, eerie lighting, and photo-ready frights — all supporting local causes.

Presented by North Shore Edge, in collaboration with SKA Wellness Holistic Spa, Third Eye Pro Creative Studio, and the Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites North Vancouver (soon to become a DoubleTree by Hilton), this free, donation-based event offers both a Pre-Show Sneak Peek and a Main Event:

• Pre-Show Sneak Peek: Now until November 26, 2025 — early access to select zones for those who want to beat the crowds

• Main Event: October 27–November 2, 2025 — the full Haunt-Inn experience with expanded displays, live elements, and giveaways

The attraction features themed areas including Spider Alley, The Creepy Corridor, The Mystical Maze, and The Pumpkin Path, each filled with atmospheric lighting, eerie soundscapes, and photo-worthy moments.

“The Haunt-Inn brings together the best of what our community has to offer — creativity, collaboration, and connection,” said Jamil Mawani co-organizer of North Shore Edge. “There aren’t enough free, family-friendly events that truly invite everyone to come together. We wanted to create something that not only connects neighbours but helps people tap into that feeling of being a kid again — curious, imaginative, and just having fun.

Admission is free, with optional donations supporting North Shore Edge, a local community initiative, and Spirit of Children, whose mission is to make hospital stays less scary for kids across North America.

Guests can enjoy:

• Hot drinks and Halloween sweets from Raven Haven Pop-Up Café

• Seasonal dining specials at Seymour’s Pub and Medley’s Italian & Grill

• Wellness and creative pop-ups by SKA Wellness Holistic Spa and Third Eye Pro – Creative Studio

• Community giveaways, raffle prizes, and treats running throughout the event

• Loot bags for the first 200 kids attending the Main Event (From October 27–November 2)

🎃 Special Halloween Treat: On October 31, costumed kids aged 10 and under eat free at Medley’s Italian & Grill with the purchase of an adult meal and prizes for best costumes at Seymour’s Pub.
