This Haunted House is awesome!! Only open for this year, this converted warehouse is a funhouse…read morefull of live (scary) actors, movie props from all your favorite movies (Saw, Night at the Museum, Stargate (hm? is it really your favorite?), Addams Family, etc). It's $10 and most of the money goes to charity, the Variety Children's Charity of BC, that is. I was surprised at how well it was put together and you even get a free pumpkin! As of today, there were plenty to choose from!!

After a few years of missing Fright Nights due to restrictions and otherwise, I am very much…read morelooking forward to a return. At first, I was a little worried as we got there roughly 20 minutes before it opened. The line to get in seemed to go on forever. However, once inside, it seemed not to be very busy at all. It looked to me like the majority of the people initially all rushed the rides and not the food or haunted houses. DO NOT go unless you get the Rapid Pass. Full stop. Don't go. Yes, it's more money, but do you like standing in lines? With the pass myself, my guest didn't wait more than 2-3 minutes to get into any house. We saw everything at our leisure, enjoyed the freak show and had snacks and dinner. It's all a matter of how much your time is worth. Other tips: Get there right when it opens at 6 p.m. I've always found it actually gets busier, and the night goes on. Don't be freaked out by the initial lines to get in. Take a break and enjoy yourself. It's a long night if you want it to be, so don't rush around. This year, they seemed to take a step toward doing a little more with themes bits of food at numerous stands, including finger hotdogs and special donuts. There was a new house, finally, this year and as much as I enjoy all the houses, I think they should use the money from the amazing crowds this year to revamp the majority of the existing ones. For me, this is just a nostalgic trip which you'll have to factor into my rating.

We were in Vancouver for a few days and one of our friends wanted to go to the Fright Nights, so we…read moredid, it was ok, the park is fairly small and they had 8 haunted houses, it seemed more people were interested in going on the rides than to the haunted houses, we ended up going though 6 of the 8 houses before we were ready to go back to the hotel. Haven't been to a haunt in about 20 years but it seems they have become much tamer in our time away. The characters were good but the houses were showing their age as some of the props were in disrepair. Overall it was fun and the price was very reasonable.

Deserving of an updated 4 star review for still bringing amusement park fun plus mini golf, haunted…read morehouse, midway games, climbing wall and concert entertainment to the city in 2025. I had a blast on their thrill rides such as the OG wooden roller coaster which was built way before we were born in 1958...yup, its age does add an extra rocky and spooky element when you are on this ride. Their mini golf course was cute and with enough challenging designs for family fun. Hole in one at hole 16 and 17 was a thoughtful and encouraging design too. Paid parking available and free street parking is possible if you park further away. Staff is overall quite friendly. Vendor foods' costs are of course usually higher at an amusement park but hot dogs, burgers, pizza, donuts and cotton candy are the standard food options at an amusement park. Tips: Recommend to visit on a less sunny or even cloudy day to avoid the heat while in lineup. Do bring a hat or sunscreen on sunny days and stay hydrated. Look for online promotion when buying admission tickets for better value and please don't compare Playland to Disneyland. I chose to visit Playland when PNE is not open for less crowds and spent about half a day there. Put your hands up on the rides and scream for a good time :)

Attended the PNE summer fair this year on their very last weekend! I love their summer fairs, but…read morethis time I thought their food selection was not as good as last years. :: Pig racing - they had their petting zoo open which had many farm animals and a pig race! We were so excited for the pig race, we dropped everything to make sure we make it. However, we were pretty disappointed... the race was for 20mins in total but we only got to see the pigs for probably 1min. They only did two races. The space was also very tight so it was hard for people to see, on top of that, there was no ventilation so it got very stuffy and hot. Considering this is a part of their summer fair, it would've been nice if they some water coolers or fans. :: Superdog show - hands down best part of the fair!! The show was for 30mins and we got to pet the dogs after which was amazing. The show itself was very humorous and had lots of fun elements. Now the food - :: The Tochi YVR flights were amazing, 5/5 would recommend (especially the coconut one) :: Slush Zone - we got their slushies from the Slush Zone which came in funky bottles that looked big but did not hold a lot of fluid. You had to pay $2 to refill them which was not too bad. :: Shrimp Basket from the Shrimp Basket stall, pretty good! The Shrimps were fried to perfection. I wish they had the foot long fries, they were my favourite at PNE!! Hope they bring them back next year.
