🧠 Plan Your Night

🚗 Parking
It’s going to be busy! The TELUS Spark parking lot fills up quickly. If it's full when you arrive, you can use the Calgary Zoo overflow lot next door. Be sure to pay at the machine or with the ParkPlus app.

🍸 Drink Tickets
Want to skip the line? Buy drink tickets in advance when purchasing your admission on Showpass. You can also buy them on-site by scanning a QR code at the event.

🧛 Dress Code
We encourage guests to dress up—creepy, creative, or just curious! Whether you’re in full costume or subtle spooky vibes, embrace the theme and get into the gore-geous spirit of the night.
