What: The closest you can get to the North Pole without straying too far from Vancouver, Grouse transforms into an utterly magical, snow-blanketed winter wonderland at this time of year. And even if you're not planning to ski or snowboard, there's a full menu of delightful, festive-forward activities to experience among the icicle-draped trees and gabled buildings. The fun starts on the gondola ride as you glide upwards over the frosted firs before arriving at the summit. Once you disembark, you'll step into a glittering realm filled with seasonal spectacle. Don't miss the illuminated installations on the Light Walk, take a twirl around the outdoor mountaintop ice rink and hop aboard a sleigh ride through the forest. You can also meet and learn about a real-life reindeer (aka Vixen) and even meet her famous employer––Santa himself––in his rustic workshop (there's also a special Breakfast with Santa option if you reserve ahead). Looking for entertainment? The Peak of Christmas will also feature figure skating shows on select days plus (in the main lodge building) live festive music and Christmas movie screenings. But that's not all! There are also craft activities for kids, roaming elves and grinches (on select days) and a Sliding Zone for sled-riding. Give yourself plenty of time to make the most of it and be sure to bring your camera: this the perfect place to snap holiday photos you'll be looking at for years to come.
