Fear Forest

Two more dates remain for ‘Fear Forest,’ a laser tag event in north Oshawa that features everything from zombie apocalypses to graveyards as kids team up to battle monsters and other evil baddies in an oh-so-fun way.

Presented by Battle City Laser Tag at 690 Taunton Rd. W. every Thursday to Sunday night until October 29, Fear Forest has haunted trails with themes such as alien landing, witches coven, doll island, circus, corn field, butcher shoppe, werewolf den, and of course, zombies.

This immersive experience is recommended for children ten years old and up, but anyone under the age of 15 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

It’s the second year for Fear Forest, with the attraction partnered with Spirit of Children, which aims to make hospitals “less scary for kids.”

Fear Forest gives financial donations to Spirit of Children through Spirit Halloween in Oshawa and Pickering for every purchase. Financial donations can also be made by guests, with all donations supporting SickKids Hospital in Toronto.

Battle City Laser Tag also offers tutoring and homework help Monday to Friday, with high schoolers on hand to offer support, with some fun laser tag events as a reward for both student and tutor.
