Escape the Museum: A Halloween Adventure
Museum of Health Care
Ann Bailie Building, 32 George Street
October 25, 2025
Every Halloween, the legends come to life…
They say strange things happen in Kingston’s museums this time of year—that the past refuses to stay silent, and the walls themselves remember. Dare to find out for yourself in Trapped in Time, an all-ages haunted escape adventure hosted by the Museum of Health Care annually.
You enter. The door slams shut behind you. You’re not alone.
As you explore both eerie sites, you’ll encounter chilling clues, long-forgotten stories, and mysterious figures trapped between timelines. Your mission? Solve the puzzles, find the keys, and escape—before you, too, become part of the legend.
Teddy Bear Hospital
Museum of Health Care
Ann Bailie Building, 32 George Street
Kingston ON, K7L 2V7
February 16, 2026
Every year on Family Day, the Museum of Health Care transforms into a special medical hub—just for stuffed animals! The Teddy Bear Hospital is a playful, hands-on program designed to help children feel more comfortable in health care settings by letting them take the lead as caregivers.
Young visitors bring their stuffed animals for a “check-up” and move through a series of activity stations where they meet friendly volunteers acting as health professionals. Along the way, they learn about common medical tools, build trust in the health care process, and gain confidence through imaginative role play.
Whether their teddy needs a bandage, a stethoscope exam, or a little encouragement, children leave feeling empowered—and often eager to return. This popular event is especially meaningful for families navigating medical fears or past experiences with hospital care.
