NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC’S BEYOND KING TUT

Saturday and Sunday, check available times, Vancouver Convention Centre

This exhibit kicks off this weekend and runs through until January. The National Geographic “Beyond King Tut: The Immersive Experience” is a cinematic, immersive exhibition that will take you on a journey to one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time. Innovative video projections and soundscapes transport visitors to Egypt, where they experience the country’s ancient wonders, meet the gods of the underworld, and join National Geographic Explorers who continue to study the mysteries of his tomb. I’ve got some tickets booked for a few weeks from now, so I will report back on how it is!

BEAR CREEK LIGHTS

Saturday and Sunday 4:30-8:30pm, Bear Creek Park, Surrey

The City of Surrey invites you to experience the Light Festival this fall in Bear Creek Park. Admire illuminated trees, dazzling displays, and sparkling lights throughout the garden. Stroll through an ever changing display of colour at this free family event. Enjoy a safe, accessible, family-friendly light display throughout the park’s one-kilometre garden walking loop. Food trucks will be available on select nights.

HAWAII FROM ABOVE

Saturday and Sunday 10 am – 9 pm, Fly Over Canada, Canada Place

Feeling tired of this cold weather and the atmospheric rivers we’ve been hit with? Maybe take the kids for a tropical flight with FlyOver Canada. Enjoy an exhilarating view of Hawaii From Above with a flight over Maui’s golden shoreline, swooping across active volcanic craters on the island of Hawaii and floating above Kauai’s lush coast. The cinematic ride takes guests from soft-sand beaches and tranquil turquoise bays to the North Shore of Oahu’s big surf. (There is also apparently a promo code on right now for 25% with the code ALOHA25)
