Ghost Train in Stanley Park

Each year the Stanley Park Ghost Train takes our riders on a journey through a mystical and magical world, inspired by Halloween and other spooky tales.

Stanley Park Ghost Train cancelled for 2022

We are disappointed to announce that this year’s Halloween-themed Ghost Train will not be going ahead due to mechanical issues affecting the antique engines and passenger cars.

Those looking for an alternative to the Ghost Train are encouraged to attend VanDusen Garden’s family-friendly Harvest Days, open Saturdays and Sundays in October in addition to Monday, October 10 and Friday, October 21. The garden and maze will be transformed for fall with fun photo areas, crafts, live music, snacks, and festive beverages. Buy tickets online

Riding the train

Several trains depart during each half-hour time slot.

Line up at the start of your time slot for shorter waits.

For example, if your time slot is 7pm to 7:30pm, arrive at 7pm and join the line for your time slot. You'll board a train by 7:30pm. All aboard!

Ghost Train is a family-friendly event and we suggest parental guidance for children. For a less scary experience, try our matinee train.
