Canyon Lights at Capilano Suspension Bridge Park

Visitors cross the world-famous suspension bridge glowing with festive lights above the canyon and experience WILDLIGHT, a 3D wildlife projection deep in the rainforest. Guests can explore Treetops Adventure and Cliffwalk illuminated by millions of twinkling lights, listen to live seasonal tunes, and enjoy holiday treats. Families can also visit the North Pole photo spot with Santa's sleigh and reindeer, while children collect rainforest explorer stickers to complete a keepsake ornament.
