The Bright Nights Christmas Train returns to Stanley park for another year of festive choo-cho-cheer!
The dazzling locomotive and the Stanley Park Train Plaza will sparkle with over 3 million twinkling lights, as well as breathtaking displays and live performers.
Guests may choose to pay for a ride on the train or they may pay by donation to view the beautiful lights. A portion of the proceeds will go to the BC Professional Fire Fighters' Burn Fund, where $1.4 million has been raised to help burn survivors and their families since 1998.

The matinee train ride is a great day-time outing for families, school groups, and groups with children. Guests will journey through the forest that is filled with joyful holiday music past magical displays.
The classic night train is a 14-minute experience filled with beautiful displays, holiday lights, and a live performer.
No canines are permitted on the train, unless they are certified service animals.
