Halloween is an exciting event for family fun and entertainment at the BC Forest Discovery Centre. Over the years, the Halloween Train has quickly become a family favourite for members and visitors from all over the Island. According to BC Forest Discovery Centre�s Manager, Anthony Bone, �The Halloween Train has been catching up to the long running Christmas Express now for drawing visitors from far and wide to our community�.

The volunteers and staff are already getting ready behind the scenes. �In addition to putting out haunted displays from previous years, the BC Forest Discovery Centre has added so much more. We are thrilled that we have some exciting additions to this spooky event� so even if you think they couldn�t make it better than last year�. they certainly have for this year!

Adding to the community involvement at the event, the Theatre Departments from Dwight International and Shawnigan Lake School will add the theatrics to the event all three nights. The student performing actors will be wandering throughout the park and adding to the spook and making the haunted areas come alive.

The BC Forest Discovery Centre suggests that parents bring toddlers and sensitive children during the daylight hours before the actors arrive. Train rides start at three and run every half hour. The live actors start at dusk and some of the more scary things come out later after dark. There will be lots of volunteer staff to help you decide if an area may be too scary for your little one if you wish to enquire.

Activities each evening include crafts in the schoolhouse, train rides, and trick or treat stations for the little ones. There will be lots of hot chocolate, coffee and hot food available to purchase so you can even sit back, watch the fun and enjoy the fire pits. In the event of rain, not to worry as so many events and displays are indoors and the �Halloween Train� is covered.

Dress up and celebrate Halloween with a visit to the BC Forest Discovery Centre, Friday October 25th, Saturday the 26th, or Sunday October 27th. Doors open at 2:30 and last train is at 8:30 pm.
