Aurora Winter Festival is taking over Hastings Park this December, and it comes with plenty of holiday magic in Vancouver.

For the next two weeks, the festival will be hosting a Thursday night special. On December 5 and 12, Aurora Winter Festival will be offering free skate rentals with admission and half-price unlimited ride and slide passes.

That means that visitors can enjoy the tube slide, super shot, Ferris wheel, Berry Go Round, Elephants, Choo Choo Charlie, and Bulgy’s — as many times as they can.

Similar to last year, Aurora has also released a free, downloadable app that will help enhance the festival experience.

Mystical Worlds Quest

The Beauty of the Mystical Worlds thrives on the energy of tour guests. As you journey through the festive grounds, you can join the quest to energize the Mystical Worlds. The quest has eight charging different stations for guests to journey to, and each one includes a QR code for you to scan and sustain the beauty and magic of the Mystical Worlds. If a guest scans all eight codes they can redeem their prize at the Merchandise booth by the Frozen Pond.
