Halloween Train — BC Forest Discovery Centre

The BC Forest Discovery Centre in Duncan, British Columbia, runs a spooktacular Halloween Train as a family evening. The operator packs each evening with Halloween crafts in the schoolhouse, train rides, trick-or-treat stations for little ones and live entertainment.

Hot chocolate, coffee and hot food are available for purchase, and visitors can warm up around the centre's fire pits. The Halloween Train and most of the displays are covered, so the event runs rain or shine.

The operator calls it family-friendly but notes that some displays and activities may be a little scary for very young children after dark; it recommends that the youngest visitors arrive earlier in the evening, before sunset. Costumes are encouraged.
