Kids of all ages will be singing along to their favourite carols as they take in the whimsical displays along their ride.
We're excited to welcome you back to a nostalgic and cherished family event that has created many Christmas memories. As our very first in-person special event since Bright Nights 2019, we're prioritizing the safety of our visitors, staff, and volunteers, and making sure the train will be a fun, happy, and safe experience.
