Also, tourists can visit the well-known Van Dusen Botanical Garden Festival of Lights.

The Peak of Christmas at Grouse Mountain is also a can't-miss experience for families, where they can cross the mountain in a sled, snowshoe through a pine forest, sip a cup of hot chocolate, taste traditional cheese fondue and experience the Christmas spirit atop the mountain.
