From Sept. 30-Oct. 1, the grounds of Casa Loma will be transformed into Legends of Horror, an immersive theatrical experience.

Legends of Horror removes audience members from a traditional playhouse and immerses them in the theatrical setting. Tickets to the show are now available on Casa Loma’s website.

Tickets are available on MyZone ranging $55-$75.

And when not in a maze, three on-site food trucks, free hot chocolate, carnival games, bonfires, fireworks, and more will keep guests entertained.
