Wildlights will run December 12, 2025 - January 4, 2026 from 4:00pm - 9:00pm nightly, excluding Christmas Day (Dec 25).
Over 1 million magical lights will turn on at 5:00pm each night.
Accessibility and inclusion are important to us, which is why we’ve planned a Sensory Friendly Evening on December 12th, designed for anyone who may benefit from a quieter, more supportive experience. On this special night, there will be no music, and a designated quiet space will be available for anyone needing a break from the sensory-rich environment.
In addition, we’re thrilled to partner with the Canucks Autism Network (CAN), whose trained staff will be on-site throughout the park to provide support. CAN has also created a Visual Storybook to help visitors prepare for their visit, and sensory kits will be available for loan. Click the button below to download the storybook.
