Your Harry Potter™ Forbidden Forest Experience Awaits in Vancouver’s Stanley Park

Picture this, Stanley Park in peak holiday season. Just steps from downtown Vancouver, the forest trails glow with lanterns, the ocean shimmers under the stars, and the setting feels so fantastical you might just run into a Hippogriff along the way. Sound dreamy? Be sure to mark your calendars for November 7th, because the official Harry Potter™ Forbidden Forest Experience is landing in Vancouver!

Where is The Forbidden Forest Experience in Vancouver?

Vancouver is best known as a premium holiday destination, and what better way to experience it than through the Harry Potter™ Forbidden Forest Experience in Stanley Park! On the trail, you’ll wander through a mystical forest of spell-casting and storytelling so mesmerizing, you’ll forget you’re still in downtown Vancouver. Open to all ages, this experience welcomes families, friends, and fans alike. No matter your Hogwarts™ house, there’s a place for everyone to enjoy the magic.

Start your forbidden forest adventure by picking up your wand and then wandering through the trail, where a cinematic light show sets the stage for a fantastical evening. But the show doesn’t stop there. Interactive storytelling brings the Harry Potter™ World to life like never before, letting you cast spells and uncover hidden surprises as you illuminate the park with the swirl of your wand.

What Will I Get to Experience?

Relive your favourite movie moments alongside the Harry Potter™ gang, and encounter magical creatures around every corner, from majestic Unicorns to breathtaking Hippogriffs™.

And when your journey draws to a close, gather by the fire and treat yourself to Hogwarts™ favourites like a crisp Butterbeer™ or a toasty hot chocolate. Then, savour the enchanting experience by visiting the gift shop, where you’ll discover exclusive goodies like themed one-of-a-kind apparel. It’s the ultimate souvenir to take a piece of Vancouver home with you.

Where Should I Stay?

Staying at the Paradox Hotel or the Loden Hotel in Coal Harbour? You’re already steps away from the trail. And while you’re in town, see the never-ending shortage of festive glow during the holiday season. Head to the Vancouver Christmas Market at Jack Poole Plaza, where mulled wine, bratwursts, and artisan stalls come with oceanside views. You can also lace up for ice skating at Robson Square, right in the heart of downtown and it's a true holiday classic by day or nighttime.

Where Can I Purchase Tickets?

Don’t miss this exciting opportunity. The waitlist opens on September 9th, and ticket sales go live on their official website on September 10th. This experience runs from November 7th until its final day on February 1st, 2026.

Escape the Muggle™ world for an evening of wonder. We hope to see you there.
