VanDusen Glow in the Garden returns for another season of festive enchantment. Join us this Halloween season for a walk through a new light show with unique features and magical moments. The old barred owl has played a Halloween trick by casting a "hootenanny" spell and making it glow. Help Anna the hummingbird and her friends lift the spell as you journey through the garden. Kids can collect all six stamps at the Glow zones and redeem them for a small prize at the bootique located inside the Visitor Centre halls. Visitors of all ages will enjoy tasty treats, crafts, and much more. 

The light maze featured 23-foot tall-reindeers, snowy caves, complex structures, and a 64-foot-tall tree, all spectacularly lit up with hundreds of thousands of lights thanks to SHINE. Guests get to feel the adventure of helping Santa Claus find his missing reindeer, all lost in the maze, by exploring the seven worlds of light in order to save Christmas. The mission should take approximately 20-30 minutes to complete. Afterwards, guests can enjoy the Enchant Christmas market that includes a diverse range of local vendors and artisans for a unique holiday shopping experience. The market will also feature 12 food trucks where delicious seasonal treats will be served. Guests-of-age can take delight in the licensed, covered and cozy eating area with their favourite spiked holiday drink.
