FAQs

Is the free Youth Entry for Parks Canada applicable to ghost tour ticket sales?

The Parks Canada Free Youth Entry is only applicable to day time admission and not for the Ghost Tours.

Do I need to arrive early if I have already bought tickets?  We recommend arriving 5-10 minutes before the tour begins in order to present your ticket or valid photo id to the kiosk attendant. Please ensure you have your ticket printed, on your mobile device or a piece of photo identification.  

What should I bring to the Ghost Tour? Your proof of purchase (printed ticket, ticket email on mobile device, or a valid piece of photo id) and yourself!

Where do Ghost Tours begin?  The Ghost Tour will take place at the main entrance of the Halifax Citadel (facing the town clock) promptly at 7:30 pm.  The main gate will close after the group has been brought in by the Ghost Tour guide so late entry is not permitted.  

It's after 4 pm and I still would like to buy a ticket, why can't I buy one online?

Our tickets stop selling online at 4 pm. After 4 pm, please purchase your tickets at the front kiosk either before the fort closes, or starting at 6:30 pm.

Are Ghost Tours cancelled due to inclement weather such as rain? Ghost Tours will run rain or shine.  The tour will take place in both indoor and outdoor locations, so be sure to dress for the weather!

Where can I park for Ghost Tours? Limited parking is available on a scramble basis at the top of the hill over looking the town clock. To reach these spots use the Sackville Street entrance, and exit onto Ahern Avenue.
