Make you own way to the Mackenzie King Estate and then follow your cloaked and lantern-carrying tour guide on a 90-minute storytelling adventure that will surprise amaze and delight even the most skeptical in the group. Tour begins for the estate parking lot (P6).
Our guide Jessie was excellent! We had such a fun night. It was great to rediscover the MacKenzie King Estate in a night setting. Very spooky stories. Well organized, easy walk, beautiful place. Thanks again!
An interesting and mildly spooky tour of the Mackenzie King estate. It was a hot and humid evening, but the event was fun and stories were expertly delivered. Kind to supply bug spray for attendees who may have forgotten. We also witnessed a young deer, plenty of fireflies and a few bats.
Very interesting The guide was very knowledgeable The weather was just perfect, rain, tnunder, lightning I would recommend that walk
This was an excellent tour; great way to get into the Halloween spirit. It was well researched, Covid safe, and definitely spooky :) It was such a treat to be able to walk around the grounds of the MacKenzie King Estate in the dark while listening to the guide tell fascinating stories of Canada's 10th Prime Minister. A tour I would highly recommend this tour.
I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun night out! Very interesting and super fun and great time :)
We were so excited for this experience for my friend’s birthday. Haunted Walk warned us of road closures ahead of time and we followed the map provided to us. When we got about 1KM from our destination, a new road closure had occurred and there was no way to get there. There were 5-7 cars worth of people trying to get in and also calling customer service. As we were in the middle of Gatineau Park, phone service has super spotty but we did manage to get a hold of customer service, who assured us that they were aware and someone was on their way. It took a long time (at least 40 minutes), but the NCC eventually did come to open to gates for us..... But we missed ur tour and Haunted Walk would only accommodate our group in an hour and a half’s time. They would not budge on this and the representative at the meeting spot was uncompromising and condescending as if her tour’s gates being closed was somehow our fault. When I asked if there was another option to sitting in a parking lot for an hour and a half, I was told I MIGHT be able to get a refund. MIGHT. I ended up getting one with little apology and no opportunity to make up for the drive to get there, the wait in the Forest in the dark and then the completely missed experience. So disappointing.
Only 20 mins from downtown Ottawa the estate was easy to find with gps. We had perfect weather. No wind or rain or bugs. Cool fall night with clear skies & bright moon. A full moon would have been a spooky treat. The guide was friendly & knowledgable. We had plenty of time to view the buildings & artifacts. Our group was smaller & quieter. That added to the atmosphere. You don’t want people laughing & carrying on etc. Loved the ghost stories. Be sure to dress for the weather with comfortable shoes.
We wanted to attend a haunted walk for Halloween, and we wanted to try something new, so this was perfect. The tour started at 7, but we arrived about an hour early to enjoy the changing leaves in the beautiful woods of Gatineau Park. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the property. The tour wasn't too scary (which we liked), and it was a great opportunity to learn more about the park and the Mackenzie King property (and the man himself). There was free parking, they provided excellent directions, you get a keepsake flashlight, and they were very well organized. The tour lasted about 1.5 hours. We really enjoyed it, and would recommend it to others :)
This was a well researched and fun delivery of some interesting and spooky stories and facts of a previous PM.
Super nice haunted tour of the Mackenzie King Estate. Our guide Elise was great. A great experience to have in Chelsea!
Yesterday we went to this haunted march, it was very pleasant, the person in charge of our group was very competent and knew every detail the highlights of the place, it was very pleasant!
Excellent experience. Our guide was perfect. Lots of history and lots of information. We loved our experience. I recommend it
It was a beautiful visit, but more historic than frightening. Mood was perfect: in the dark forest, lots of fog and lanterns! As we wanted to be afraid, we were a little disappointed. However, if you want to learn more about Mackenzie King in an Unusual Mood, you will be served!
