Halloween Train at BC Forest Discovery Centre in Cowichan sure to draw a crowd this October
Organizers say the expanded event adds crafts, fire pits, trick-or-treat stations and live entertainment to meet demand from more families.
The BC Forest Discovery Centre is hosting its largest Halloween event to date, offering 12 nights of train rides across its 100-acre site with new surprises for families.
Event dates span from Friday, Oct. 16 through Friday, Oct. 30, with three separate session blocks scheduled to accommodate increased demand for Halloween train experiences.
Beyond the train, each evening features crafts in the schoolhouse, fire pits, and trick-or-treat stations for children, with live entertainment by Andy McCormack throughout the Centre.
Organizers recommend arriving an hour before scheduled train times to experience all activities; families with very young children should plan visits before sunset, as the event can be scary after dark.
The Centre opens daily at 3:30 p.m., with covered trains departing every half-hour from 4 p.m. until 9 p.m. rain or shine; tickets are available online only and non-refundable.
