Would you like to get lost in one of the biggest outdoor mazes in the world?

When venturing inside the Labyrinthe Galaxie, you’ll discover that it’s easy to lose your mind in a 48-acre cornfield. The goal is simple: to find your way through the 5 km of trails in 30 minutes to... four hours, day or night, if you dare.

Once again, this year, the Verger du Flanc Nord in Mont-Saint-Hilaire is hosting a magical activity in the spirit of Halloween. Their witchy evening is an immersive theatrical experience outdoors during which children are invited to arrive in costume with a flashlight. The 30-minute stroll on a dark forest path is full of surprises and delights. At every turn, a witch or wizard appears to tell their own version of a half-funny, half-spooky tale.
