Lights hang along the suspension bridge over the Capilano River and up into the Treetops Adventure and the Cliffwalk. In the forest, WILDLIGHT projects 3D wildlife onto the rainforest, and a black bear and a great horned owl appear among the trees. The Trading Post sets up a North Pole photo spot with Santa's sleigh and reindeer, and Winter Rainforest Explorers gives kids a sticker hunt beside a holiday market.
Regular admission or an annual pass covers Canyon Lights, and BC annual passholders reserve a time online before they come. The Cliff House Restaurant & Bar pours hot chocolate to live festive music. Ticket prices and the shuttle timetable sit on Capilano's own pages.
Worth knowing
- Arrive before dusk to see the canyon in the last daylight and stay on for the lights. British Columbia keeps its clocks at UTC−7 from November 2026, so sunset comes about an hour later than in past winters.
