PASS OPTIONS

ALL IN GOOD TIME

At the Canadian Tire Magic of Lights event, there’s a lot going on during the weekends. During the busy holiday season, many people come to visit on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays between 6:30pm and 9:30pm. Normally, you can enjoy the Magic of Lights in less than 20 minutes, but sometimes there might be a small delay.

For a more intimate experience, it’s a good idea to visit from Monday to Thursday. You can also come earlier (between 5:00pm and 6:30pm) or later than 9:30pm on the weekends to avoid the crowds and have a more relaxed time.

MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR MAGIC
