We had so much fun at the Oval. It was too cold to do anything outside so we decided to come with our friends and we had a blast. The vibe, music, and energy was awesome.

Oval After Dark

Join us in the evening for a terrifying immersive experience at the Olympic Oval. The Oval's Room 54 and surrounding catacombs have been transformed into a maze of horror, thrills and chills.

For those of you who survive the haunting, join us on the ice for an evening skate — dimly lit, eery and ominous. A truly chilling experience.

Date: Wed. October 30, 2024
Time: 8:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m.
Admission: $10.00
UCalgary Staff & Faculty Admission: $0 with UCID card

All proceeds to benefit the Olympic Oval Athlete Bursary Fund. The haunted event is rated 16+ for scenes and sets of horror and blood-curdling terror.

This is the Scariest Ice in the World™

I was terrified. I didn't think it would be scary, but they had all these actors, clowns and a haunted catacomb and I just loved it. Mind you, I won't go alone next time.
