I know. It feels like only yesterday that we experienced the alien invasion at the Stanley Park Ghost Train and now we’re already fully engulfed in the festive spirit for the holidays! To help you get into the holiday spirit, I’ve partnered up with the Bright Nights Christmas Train folks to give away a set of four tickets to one lucky winner!
Every year, the Stanley Park Train Plaza gets fully decked out in the holiday spirit with some truly impressive Christmas displays. You can check out our experience in previous years to get a sense of what to expect, if you haven’t been. The train itself is decorated for Christmas too, of course, taking riders on a illuminating 14-minute journey through the forest.
Bright Nights in Stanley Park is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year with three million twinkling lights across the breathtaking displays in the plaza and all along the train route. This is easily one of the most popular Christmas events every year in Vancouver, so you’ll want to buy your tickets early, especially if you plan on going on a weekend!
Tickets for the night train are:
- $12 for adults
- $9 for seniors (65+) and youth (13-18)
- $8 for children (3-12)
- Kids under 2 are free.
Tickets for the matinee train, which does not include the live performers, are $6 each for all ages. The Bright Nights Christmas Train runs from November 30 to January 6, but it is closed on December 25 for Christmas. For more information, check out the official page on the City of Vancouver website.
Are you ready to win some tickets? Enter through the widget below and maybe I’ll see you on board the train! Don’t forget to donate to the BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund when you go to take in the festivities too. Over $1.4 million has been raised to help burn survivors and their families in the 20 years of the Christmas Train.
