It’s beautiful when it gets dark, so dress warmly and enjoy the stroll and sights of The Festival of Lights. Tickets need to be bought in advance online; it quickly gets sold out. There’s free parking on site and plenty of food and drink options inside (prices are steep, though).
Its a fun place to visit. I would definitely grab a map right after you scan your ticket, they are located at the entrance. I went during the afternoon and my experience was good. I would definitely recommend going at night for the best experience. Definitely check out the maze!!
Went to the gardens during their light festival. It was a great night, easily spent a couple hours walking around. The lights were spectacular! I went in the middle of the week and it wasn't too crowded. They had a few places to eat along the walk, a few places for hot chocolate, mulled wine, cider.
The festival of lights is an incredible experience! Don't miss it! And buy your tickets in advance on the website.
From November 24 to January 7, go to the VanDusen Botanical Gardens and experience the name states... a festival of lights for all members of the family.
Be prepared to be in cold weather and maybe some rain so don't forget to check the forecast before you go. Strollers and Wheelchairs are OK. You can't bring food from outside as it is sold inside. Something warm halfway across is nice to take a break. Check the map so you know where you are when you are inside. It is a big place, and you can get lost or loose direction of where you want to go.

Festival of Lights is extraordinary event that happens every year. Start from mid November to first week of January. Beautiful decor of lights with various colors and cute designs. You walk through the lights in the garden, take memorable pictures and enjoy Hot cocoa. We loved the MINI Donuts as well. Hot & yummy! Must visit Festival of Lights.
Today, five of my friends and I went to Vandusen Festival of Lights in Vancouver. The price of our ticket was about 24 dollars per person (using the 15% Black Friday discount). The sound of music could be heard.
Firstly, the music was changed several times in the middle of a song, and secondly, the lights that were used were very ordinary.
For example, in my opinion, if instead of using so many green, blue, red, and pink lights that do not reach that space at all, if they used creamy white color, that space would be completely dreamy.
But with these lights, a large part of the environment looked like a kindergarten, and the parts where green light was used looked like mosques and religious places.
All in all, it was not a bad experience and it was worth going once, but really it was not worth 24 dollars at all and even half of this amount was too much for this festival that was prepared.
If I want to briefly mention the special points of that environment that might be useful for someone:
It had many washrooms, both indoors and outdoors.
There were two cafes before entering the open space, one of which served alcohol (but you couldn't take it out of the cafe and you had to eat it there).
There were food and drink stands along the way selling things like hot drinks and donuts.
Here are some videos and photos from tonight
