Halloween Ghost Train in Stanley Park

Around Halloween, come see the Miniature Train transform and enjoy the thrills and excitement of the Ghost Train, a themed ride that changes every year with new sets, costumes, and other surprises created by the team at Mortal Coil Performance Society. The ride may be a little scary for children aged five years and younger, so parental discretion is advised.

Take advantage of the additional Halloween-themed activities in the Stanley Park Train Plaza and join the thousands of families in Vancouver who make this an annual tradition.
