Halloween at the BSM

The day after Halloween doesn't mean the fun has to stop! Head over to the Bata Shoe Museum in the heart of Bloor-Yorkville for their annual family-friendly Halloween celebration. Perfect for kids, parents, and history enthusiasts alike, this daytime event invites visitors to explore the museum's fascinating collections through a uniquely spooky lens.

What to Expect The museum is transforming with festive activities designed for all ages. Younger visitors can take part in a museum-wide "trick-or-treat" scavenger hunt and test their observational skills with the popular iSpy game cards. Don't miss the hands-on craft stations where kids can make their own seasonal creations to take home.

One of the museum's standout features for the day is the all-ages try-on station, where guests can step into unique footwear inspired by different eras and cultures from around the world. Costumes are heavily encouraged, so dust off your capes, fairy wings, or monster paws!

Practical Details The event runs from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM and is completely included with regular museum general admission. Located right at 327 Bloor St. W., the Bata Shoe Museum is steps away from St. George subway station, making transit a breeze. Make a whole afternoon of it by exploring the Annex neighbourhood's eclectic cafes and local eateries before or after your museum adventure.
