Use the Edmonton 2026 Halloween Map to Find the Best Decorated Houses
There are so many houses in Edmonton that go all in for Halloween. Fog machines. Twelve-foot skeletons. Entire front lawns turned into graveyards with a soundtrack. And every year, our kids ask, "Can we go see the spooky houses?" You probably know about the ones in your neighbourhood - but we’ve rounded up the best in the city for you to plan a Halloween night out that will only cost you the gas that you fuel up the car with.
That's what the Edmonton Halloween House Map is for. We've pinned the best decorated homes in the city, sorted them by neighbourhood, and linked every one to directions. You pick the houses. The map gets you there.
Make it a night out
Here's our favourite way to do it: skip the fancy plans and make the spooky house tour the whole event.
Wait until it's properly dark, because the lights and projections are the whole show. Put the kids in costumes, or pyjamas if it's a school night and you want them to fall asleep on the drive home (strongly recommended). Fill a thermos with hot chocolate. Grab a bag of the fun-size candy you swore you were saving for trick-or-treaters. Then hit the road.
Plan your route first
Edmonton is big, and driving from Terwillegar to Belvedere with a car full of overtired goblins is nobody's idea of fun. Use the neighbourhood filter to find a cluster of houses close together, and build your night around that. Three or four great houses in one area beats ten scattered across the city.
If a neighbourhood has several pins, park once and walk between them. Kids get to run around, you get to stretch your legs, and everyone warms up in the car afterward.
Keep it fun in the backseat
Give everyone a job. One kid is the navigator. One is the official scare-o-meter, rating each house from "cute" to "I'm not getting out of the car." Keep a running score and crown a winner at the end of the night. Bonus points for anyone who spots an inflatable they've never seen before.
Planning your Halloween house crawl in Edmonton
These families put in serious hours (and serious power bills) to make this happen. A few ways to make the night great for everyone:
Drive slowly. Kids in costumes are hard to see, and so are the neighbours out admiring the same house.
Park smart. Don't block driveways, and park once if a neighbourhood has several pins close together.
Stay on the sidewalk. Lawns are part of the display, and some of those tombstones aren't as sturdy as they look.
Keep it down later in the evening. Real people live in the haunted house, and some of them have little kids asleep upstairs.
Say thanks. If the homeowner is outside, a quick "your house is amazing" makes their night.
Go before October 31. Most houses are lit up well before Halloween, and a weeknight tour means fewer cars crawling past the same porch.
Do it twice. Try a pyjama drive in mid-October, then a second round on Halloween night.
Check the forecast. It's Edmonton, so that costume might need a snowsuit underneath.
