Residents of the Lower Mainland are invited to marvel at the twinkle of a million sparkling lights at the annual starting this fall.
Each year, guests wander through an illuminated wonderland complete with festive decorations, refreshments, and, of course, dazzling light installations galore.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the event as originally announced for 2020 has since been modified and has changed venues and format. Ticket-holders for the Glow event at the Greater Vancouver Zoo will receive a full refund.
This year, Glow Gardens will be a drive-through only event, taking place at Milner Village Garden Centre at 6690 216 St, Langley City.
Ticket holders can "take a leisurely 15-minute cruise into an illuminated wonderland that brings Christmas dreams to life."
Elves will greet vehicles with sealed snack packages at the entry; your vehicle pass includes a complimentary bag of mini-donuts, popcorn plus a souvenir Glow Christmas ornament. Tune your car radio to the event's official radio station to enjoy festive music.
Your journey will take you through a glittering glacial foyer, where it鈥檚 always snowing, and a 100-foot animated light tunnel. There are wintry princesses and the jolly man in red himself. While you can't get out to sit on Santa's knee, he will be there to recognize all the kids in your vehicle.
Vehicles that will be granted entry include light trucks, SUVs, seven-passenger minivans, and sedans. The admission price is for up to seven passengers in one vehicle.
