One of Ontario’s most intense haunted walks is an hour away from Toronto

Halloween is less than two weeks away, and that means it’s time to seek out the scariest, most heart-pounding experiences the season has to offer. For those brave enough to venture into the unknown, Brawley Woods Haunted Halloween Walk is one of Ontario’s most intense outdoor frights, and it’s definitely not for the squeamish.

Brawley Woods is located just outside of Toronto, in Whitby, Ont., so it’s a perfect excuse to get out of the city and into a horrifying experience.

What to expect

Set in a dark, eerie forest, this one-of-a-kind Halloween attraction goes beyond your typical haunted house. Brawley Woods offers a fully immersive horror experience that combines movie production props, 13-foot-tall animatronics and live actors for a terrifying walk through the woods.

Featuring 24 cinematic scenes, this trail will keep you on your toes. But if it all becomes too much, there are “chicken lane exits” you could take.

Tickets for this experience are to be purchased in person and cash only. So come prepared.

Now the only question remains: are you ready to face your fears and survive Brawley Woods? You only have a few days left to embark on this journey before the season ends.
