Can I help?
Sure! Here are some details about volunteering or getting hired at Six Pines!

Is it scary?
The Barn of Doom and Terror Train are very frightening. Reality does not exist. Your nightmares will become your reality. During adult night extremely twisted and disturbed. We use strobes, fog machines, loud music, and graphic scenes.
Back to the top.
But is it really scary?
How scared you get is up to you. Fear is relative. We do our part by providing hands down one of the scariest Halloween attractions in Manitoba. Of course everyone has their own particular fear threshold. During the daytime haunt it is somewhat tamed down for the families, but at night time... the best answer we can give is 99% of the people who come out the back door are screaming. Repeat customer rate is very high. Being scared is fun!

Which is scarier Barn of Doom or Terror Train?
We've had some say Barn of Doom and other Terror Train. Again everyone's fear level is different.
Back to the top.
Will the creatures touch me?
If you don't touch them they won't grab you. Keep in mind this is a work in progress and does not always go according to plan! Of course, in the darker areas, something may accidentally bump into you but our cast members will probably not grab you. You may be grabbed by one of the members of your own group who is too terrified to continue without your help.

Are you family oriented?
During the day time haunt - absolutely! We have the "Kids Haunt" which is set up specifically for the kids. Don't worry adults you will also have a good time. See Question 6, below.
However, our NIGHT TIME HAUNTS are NOT FOR CHILDREN! We can not stress this enough. Parents we have nothing going on at night time for the children please come during the day and we'll be more than happy to entertain you and your family.
Back to the top.
What are the best shows for the kids?
Kids Haunt, Pet Vet, Harry Potter Magic Show, Captain Hook/Peter Pan show, Pumpkin Bouncy, Face Painting, Hay ride.
Back to the top.
What do you do for birthday parties?
We provide the entertainment, you provide the kids. It's as simple as that. We have several picnic tables available for your use for birthday cake, but I do suggest that you bring a cooler and keep it in your car as we have no place to keep it for you. The tables can not be reserved and are on a first come first serve basis.
Please note, due to insurance purposes no outside food/drink is allowed (with exception of the cake).
We do suggest to eliminate time in line for your group - it is suggested to arrive earlier than later.
Back to the top.
What are the best shows for the bigger kids?
Without a doubt Barn of Doom and Terror Train, our night time Harry Pot'ead has a pretty funny adult show as well. But if you're into Halloween, all the shows are fun.
Back to the top.
Can I bring my kids to "adult" night?
It is not recommended - we label our night time haunt PG 14+. 15 and under require a supervising adult to be with them. 16-18 must have parental consent. Please keep in mind we are not babysitters and do not want you dropping off your children at 6:30 pm at night to pick them up at 11:00 pm. Early in the season an hour is usually plenty of time, however, closer to the end of the season the line ups can keep you in line waiting to get in.
Back to the top.
Is there a discount for children?
No. Our shows are designed with the children specifically in mind. A child uses the same space in line, same seat at the shows. In regards to the scare venues (if you decide to put your child through) the child will get the same scare activation as an adult, most children will be too scared to continue, it then takes a cast member to escort them to the exit. So actually we should charge more. See # 9
Back to the top.
Is it healthy to get scared really bad?
Do you see horror movies? Haunted houses are just like the movies except YOU are in the movie with the ghouls jumping out at you. You, you will get scared but in the end it's all fun and you'll come out screaming, but you and your friends will laugh about it afterwards. Most everyone enjoys talking about their experience for years telling stories of how high you jumped out of your shoes.
Back to the top.
Can I get out if I want to?
There is time in the beginning but once the show starts for someone to leave and open door to the daylight would ruin it for everyone else. So yes and no... in the beginning we give you the opportunity to leave after that - grab your friend and get them to help you get through... keep your eyes closed always works best.
Back to the top.
If I get too scared to make it through the Barn of Doom or Terror Train, can I get a refund?
No! You paid us to scare you. If you get scared in the line or in the first few rooms and want to leave, we've done what you paid us to do very quickly. Be happy with prompt service!

What are the hours of operation during the day?
Starting first weekend in October and then every Saturday and Sunday thereafter including Thanksgiving Monday hours are 12:00 pm - 5:30 pm.
Back to the top.
What are the hours of operation during the night?
Gates open at 6:30 pm. 1st show for 7 pm.
Back to the top.
If I'm in line at closing time will I still get in?
Absolutely yes, as long as there are customers we will stay open. Our hours are to 11 pm - however we stop selling tickets at the gate at 10:30 pm. But if you have purchased a ticket prior to that time you will see everything.
Back to the top.
Night Time Haunts - The lines are too long! How can I get a better show without standing in line for an hour?
This one is very simple actually. Come early. We open the 2nd weekend in October (Friday night) which is generally the weekend after thanksgiving - if you come then you will miss the large crowds that generally come the 3rd and 4th weekend. If you wait and come the 3rd or last weekend be prepared to wait in line. Dress warm!
Back to the top.
What is the best time to arrive for the night time haunt?
We suggest that you arrive early. Many people complain about long lines but everyone always shows up around 9pm. Our suggestion is for you to come and purchase your tickets around 6:30 so you are one of the first in line.
Back to the top.
Are you wheelchair accessible?
During the daytime haunt yes we do have some venues that are accessible. Night time haunt unfortunately no. There are some areas of the Barn of Doom that require crawling through a tunnel - then down some stairs.
Back to the top.
Are your attractions open if it rains?
Yes, depending on the rain. Keep in mind that most venues are indoors however, you are outside on a farm walking to the various venues.
Back to the top.
How long does it take to go through?
During the day a good couple of hours to see everything - most venues are 10-15 min in length. But keep in mind as we get closer to Halloween there is some waiting at some of the venues, but the lines generally move quickly the way we've got things set up. Night time haunt - early in season an hour is usually what you'll need. However, closer to end of season - there will be wait times, so please dress warm for the night time / daytime haunts.
Back to the top.
How are your haunted houses different from the other Halloween places?
We are completely different than any other Halloween place/farm in Manitob We offer something for all ages, scary and non-scary. We have different shows that go on throughout the day and night, and have actors that interact with the children/adults. We are not just a walk through. Most of our shows take place inside a building. You are only waiting outside to get in to them.
Back to the top.
Do you sell food, beverages and souvenirs at your attraction?
We've been told some of the best around. Our poutine is to die for! T-shirts can be purchased at the ticket booth.
Back to the top.
Can we take flash photos in your Barn of Doom / Terror Train?
Not in the haunted houses or other shows! They are dark and everyone especially the actor's eyes adjust to the low light. When you flash your camera you're not only ruining other customers' experience but you're hurting the actor's eyes. Also no other recording devices are allowed (video camera's etc.). If you'd like for the Kids Haunt - you are welcome to ask the actor after the show for a picture. Thank you.
Back to the top.
Can I hit the actors, take the props, destroy the rooms, or come through the haunt drunk or stoned?
We do not allow foul language, pushing, vulgar behavior, weapons of any kind, etc. We have a list of rules just like anyone else that must be adhered to for your own safety. Please go through the haunt in a civilized manner and everyone (including you) will have a great time.
Back to the top.
Are their discounts available?
For everything that we offer - our admission price is a discount.
Back to the top.
Can I bring my cell phone?
We ask that all cell phones be turned off. You will not hear them ring in the venues, nor do we imagine you'll be talking on the phone during the "haunt". But be aware that we will NOT stop to look for lost cell phones or pagers (or most anything else). If we happen to find them, they will be available at the ticket window the next night we are open.
Back to the top.
Can I wear a costume?
You may wear any costume you wish, however we do not allow masks or other face disguising techniques. Trust us this is for the public's safety. It is too easy for a customer, in a mask, to do something inappropriate and then you, or us, have no way to identify them. We also do not allow props with your costumes - these are dangerous to our actors. If you bring them they will be held for you at the ticket booth and must be left there.
Back to the top.
Can I bring my pet(s) to your farm for the day?
Sorry, no. Although we'd love to meet your furry friend -- we have plenty of our own! -- pets are not allowed at Six Pines because most city animals are not familiar with farm animals and they may not play nicely together.
