A Night Labyrinth Is Opening Outside Montreal This Summer & It'll Give You Goosebumps
Hope you're not afraid of the dark.
July 24, 2020
Hope you're brave. If you love courses filled with puzzles, false trails, dead ends, and obstacles that you must ingeniously thwart, the night labyrinth at Ferme BM Forget in Laval might be for you. The spooky activity is on every Friday in August and September this year.
Normally, the rates for the nightly adventure are $10, but exceptionally, you will only have to pay $7.50 to live this original experience for the 2020 summer season.

The official opening will take place on Friday, August 7, and Ferme BM Forget confirmed to Narcity Québec that it's taking all necessary measures to comply with public health recommendations.
But the maze is not for those afraid of the dark.
Since darkness elevates hearing and amplifies the sounds of footsteps, birds, and wind, anyone who gets skittish at night might have to refrain from this adventure.
The most daring will have to be sure to arrive on-site with a flashlight and a lot of patience as the course takes more or less an hour to complete.
Images from years past show just how sprawling (and scary!) the maze is.
But testing your courage does have its rewards.
Ferme BM Forget is planning small campfires with marshmallow roasting at the end of each evening to congratulate successful participants.
At such a low price, it doesn't cost much to at least attempt the labyrinth. The worst that can happen is that you come away with great stories to tell.
This could be just the thing to kick off the season of frights.
Get all the details below.
Night Labyrinth At Ferme BM Forget
Price: $7.50
When: Fridays in August and September, 2020
Address: 7901, avenue Marcel-Villeneuve, Laval
Why You Need To Go: To test your courage in a nighttime course full of mysteries and challenges!
