Dinner-and-Trolley Ghost Tour in Moose Jaw: Hopkins Dining Parlour & Haunted Trolley

Historic Haunts & Hopkins is a dinner-and-trolley ghost tour experience in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada, that pairs a classic house meal at Hopkins Dining Parlour with a guided, one-hour nocturnal trolley ride through the city’s spookier corners. The evening begins at Tourism Moose Jaw - 450 Diefenbaker Drive where guests check in before moving to Hopkins Dining Parlour for a three-course supper featuring a starter soup or salad, an entree choice (Steak, Hopkins famous Prime Rib, Steelhead Trout, Chicken Alfredo Pasta, or Lemon Dill Chicken Breast), and a decadent dessert; coffee, tea or pop is included. After dinner you’ll get a 30-minute, behind-the-scenes tour of Hopkins Dining Parlour led by owner and host Linda, who shares stories tied to the building’s past and the restaurant’s role in local life. That sets the mood for the main event: a historic trolley that rolls through downtown Moose Jaw for roughly an hour of ghost stories, reported hauntings and stops at places with reputations for the paranormal. The group size is intimate — capped at 16 — which keeps the trolley chatty but focused, and the experience is designed for ages 13 and up. Note: there is no wheelchair accessibility on this tour. What makes this outing special is the pairing of warm, table-side hospitality with a mobile folklore walk. Hopkins Dining Parlour anchors the night, offering regionally familiar comfort food with a few house specialties, while the trolley stitches together neighborhood lore and first-hand accounts from local guides. The backdrop is Moose Jaw’s compact and historic urban core beneath wide prairie skies, where old brick façades, dimly lit streets and civic memory create a believable stage for ghost stories. Practical details are straightforward: arrival at 5:20 p.m., dinner at 5:45 p.m., the Hopkins tour around 7:30 p.m., and trolley boarding at about 8:20 p.m. Expect an easy-going evening: light walking between venue areas, seated dining, and a seated trolley ride. The tour runs roughly three hours total and works best if you’ve got a taste for local history, curious about folklore, or enjoy themed evenings that blend food and story. Whether you’re a visitor hunting for a memorable night in Moose Jaw or a local looking to see familiar streets with fresh eyes, Historic Haunts & Hopkins offers a precise, atmospheric way to experience the city’s culinary charm and ghostly tales in a single sweep. Small group size and the locally sourced menu make it an authentic evening; book early during festival weekends when seats fill. Meeting point at Tourism Moose Jaw - 450 Diefenbaker Drive ensures easy parking and clear directions; the experience is a standout way to learn city history through food and folklore while supporting a small local operator.
