Christmas Express — BC Forest Discovery Centre

The BC Forest Discovery Centre in Duncan, British Columbia, describes itself as a 100-acre museum park with an operational narrow-gauge railway, forest trails and historic logging camp buildings. Its Christmas Express is one of the centre's seasonal train events.

The operator's train schedule lists a steam locomotive for the Christmas Express. It warns that schedules are subject to change due to weather, and that a locomotive can occasionally be pulled from duty for maintenance without advance public notice.

The event is held from 3:30 pm to 9:30 pm on event days. The operator asks guests to leave pets at home during its Halloween and Christmas events because of the high number of visitors.

The centre is at 2892 Drinkwater Road, Duncan, off Highway 1, about an hour north of Victoria and 35 minutes south of Nanaimo. Most main areas of the site are wheelchair accessible, including the main entrance, the exhibit hall and the gas and steam trains; accessible toilets and designated parking are available, and the operator asks you to contact it in advance about access needs. Well-behaved leashed pets are normally welcome at the centre, but the operator asks that they stay home during its Halloween and Christmas events; only certified guide and service dogs are allowed on its trains. Schedules and times can change, so check the operator's website before you go.
