The House of Little Chills!
As Halloween approaches, we thought we’d bring a few little chills to the André-Benjamin-Papineau House! For one day, games, activities, and mysteries will take over the house for a family-friendly program inspired by Halloween traditions, both past and present.
From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., come take on challenges, solve a mystery, create a work of art, get your face painted, and maybe even encounter a few rather intriguing characters along the way…
The 1842 Chocolate Mystery
Step back into Halloween in 1842! Chocolate, a rare delicacy at the time, has mysteriously disappeared. With your investigation notebook in hand, explore the house, find the clues, and identify the culprit among the suspects. Will you be able to solve the mystery?
The Great Halloween Challenge Trail with Le Moulin à vents
Make your way through a series of stations and take on challenges involving skill, throwing, and hands-on activities for both children and adults. Along the way, meet two characters from traditional folklore and discover, through games and stories, the origins of Halloween!
Free admission. Reservations recommended – limited spaces available.
