The Stanley Park Ghost Train returns October 11-31 with a spooktacular twist on one of your favourite fairytales.

Get ready to follow Alice down the rabbit hole, again. Only this time, Alice is older and things aren’t what they seem. But then, what could she expect, wandering through a grand graveyard at night on Halloween?

Join Alice and the Not-So-White Rabbit through and endless series of stone doors and enter into a gothic nightmare world of tomb, and tombstones, crypts and catacomb.

Since our girls were just toddlers, our family has made it an annual fall tradition to board the Stanley Park Ghost Train for a journey through a mystical and magical world, themed by Halloween and other creepy(ish) tales. Is it scary for little kids? Neither of my two little Valley girls have ever thought so, but it really depends on the child.

 The ride takes approx. 14 minutes. Remember to bundle up as it does get chilly!

In addition to the train, there’s also the following family friendly activites/attractions:

• Crafts

• Story telling & movies

• Haunted Maze & Little Monsters Maze

• Creatures of the Night booth & interactive walking tours

• Pumpkin patch

• Food vendors

Psst…Don’t forget to bring your non-perishable food item or a cash donation for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank.
