Labour Day is Members' Day at the BC Forest Discovery Centre! Relax with your family on the last day of summer vacation & ride the final steam train of the season. To show our appreciation of your support, we will be providing one complimentary hot dog & pop to each member (upon presentation of your membership card). As well, general family members will enjoy a free visit without a punch on their card.

Beware of the Hallowe'en Train! Ride the steam train through ghostly scenes and past scary Hallowe'en characters at the museum. Children will enjoy trick or treating and making Hallowe'en crafts, and there are haunted houses for those who dare!

After 4:30 pm, costumed spooks will be mingling with the visitors and creeping up in unexpected places! The performers are provided by the South Island Musical Theatre Society. Spooky exhibits and live Hallowe'en music will take place in the main gallery.

Samson, the 1910 steam locomotive, leaves the station every 30 minutes except there will be no train at 4:30 pm.
