The North Star Experience – new holiday activity at major shopping centres

A new holiday adventure like no other – climb aboard the North Star Experience

The immersive, all-ages activity arrives exclusively at Guildford Town Centre,
Metropolis at Metrotown, and Tsawwassen Mills, from Nov 24 – Dec 23

From November 24 through December 23, Guildford Town Centre (Surrey), Metropolis at Metrotown (Burnaby), and Tsawwassen Mills invite the young and young at heart to board the North Star Experience train, an all-new holiday adventure that celebrates the wondrous sights, sounds and joy of this most magical time of the year.

Aboard the North Star Experience Train
This immersive sound and light show promises to be an unforgettable family experience. Take your seat, gaze through the window, and find yourself transported to a whole new world full of magnificent scenery.

As the sun sets and the moon rises, the spirit of the season comes out to play while the train journeys through a winter wonderland. Mountains, valleys, villages and oceans flash by as you approach the North Pole, all against a stunning backdrop of the Northern Lights. And at the end of your trip, Santa Claus will be waiting to greet you! Disembarking from the train, you’ll complete your adventure by taking a photo with the virtual Santa, filling your photo album with lasting memories.

How to prepare for your adventure:
Due to limited seating and to ensure that public health guidelines are followed, each participant must purchase a ticket online before boarding. A reservation charge applied to each ticket will help to support the Qajuqturvik Community Food Centre, which strives to strengthen health, belonging and food sovereignty in Iqaluit, Nunavut.
