What is the Stanley Park Train?
The Stanley Park Train is considered a "real" railway. All regulations apply which apply to full-sized Canadian trains. It's been a family tradition in Vancouver for more than twenty years. The Stanley Park Train staff set up the seasonal displays within the train area.

How much does the Christmas Train cost?
There is no cost for visitors to view the lighting display but there is an admission charged for the Train Ride and Children's Farmyard. The admission is a separate charge from any donation made to the Fire Fighters donation box.
To ride the train or visit the Children's Farmyard, tickets must be purchased. Partial proceeds from the admission ticket cost goes to the Burn Fund. One hundred percent of the donations to the Fire Fighters goes to the Burn Fund.
See event details.
Is Bright Nights ever sold-out?
Visitors can buy advance tickets from Ticketmaster at www.ticketmaster.ca or telephone 604-280-4444. Half of the tickets for each day's train rides will be set aside and ONLY available for purchase on-site from 12:00 noon onwards for that same day. This means that even if Ticketmaster is sold out for that day, there will still be tickets for sale on-site. First come, first serve. If all tickets have been sold for a particular day (from Ticketmaster and on-site purchase), volunteers can encourage visitors to view the lighting display, which is never "sold-out". Visitors can visit the lighting displays without riding the train or visiting the farmyard. We encourage visitors to donate to the Fire Fighters donations boxes located at the entrances to the event. |
