Clausen says protocols include a maximum of only 20 people per tour, or five bubbles of four, to allow for increased physical distancing.

“Masks are required for our underground train tour, but not required for the rest of the site, though it is highly recommended. Visitors must purchase their tickets online before they arrive, or call ahead to pre-book their tickets so we can control the number of visitors. We also have enhanced sanitation procedures in place, and have placed hand sanitizing stations and physical distancing signage throughout the site,” said Clausen.

The underground train tour and BOOM! Mill show are all indoors and under cover.

2. FlyOver Canada

Bring a mask for this iconic flight of fancy. A special Halloween flight, Howl Over Canada, for all ages debuts Oct. 1 and runs until Nov. 1. If you book online, you save 10 per cent.

“Health and safety measures include reduced capacity per ride to ensure adequate physical distancing between groups, mandatory masks while inside the attraction, sanitizing the ride between guests, and we encourage all guests to book online in advance, said Michelle Gaudet, media relations for FlyOver Canada.
