The 4 Best Halloween Activities for Kids in White Rock, Abbotsford, North Delta, and Mission BC (2026 Guide)

Quick answer: The best Halloween activities for kids in the Fraser Valley include Build an electronic Jack-o’-lantern workshop by Young Innovators, Maan Farms Fall Festival & Halloween Fright Festival (Abbotsford/Mission), Westham Island Herb Farm (Delta), and Halloween Skate at Centennial Arena (White Rock).

Halloween sneaks up fast, and between pumpkin patches, costume shopping, and candy logistics, finding activities that are actually fun for kids (not just cute for photos) can take some digging. We rounded up five standout Halloween activities for families across Langley, Abbotsford, Mission, Delta, and White Rock — from hands-on STEM to pumpkin patches and free community events.

1. Halloween Workshop: Build an Electronic Jack-o'-Lantern!

In this workshop, your kid will assemble their own light-up jack-o’-lantern using LEGOs and wire simple circuits to make their lantern glow. They’ll also get a chance to drive a robot from our Battle Bots course!

Why parents love it:

Kids build and take home a real, working electronic jack-o’-lantern
Hands-on introduction to simple circuits — no prior experience needed
Bonus robot-driving time from our Battle Bots course
Offered at community centres across White Rock, Abbotsford, Delta, and Mission BC!

Best for: Curious kids who’d rather build something glowing than just carve one. See workshop dates and locations →

2. Maan Farms Fall Festival & Halloween Fright Festival

Maan Farms’ five-acre Forest Pumpkin Patch and Halloween Fright Festival is a go-to for families across Abbotsford and nearby Mission, with tens of thousands of pumpkins, corn mazes, and larger-than-life storybook displays.

Why parents love it:

Huge pumpkin patch plus multiple corn mazes for different age levels
Storybook displays and photo ops that are actually kid-friendly, not just scary
Runs throughout October, so there’s flexibility on timing

4. Westham Island Herb Farm — Delta

Westham Island Herb Farm is a working produce and herb farm in Delta — not a big ticketed pumpkin-patch attraction, but a real family farm with colourful gardens, a farm store, and pumpkins for sale each fall as part of their seasonal produce.
