Christmas At The Taylors Since the first train rides in 1996, The Assiniboine Valley Railway has given rides to over 130 000 passengers through the Taylor family’s Christmas light display. The display grows every year and now has over 98 000 lights. The Assiniboine Valley Railway features four 1/8 scale trains transporting up to 45 people at a time through the 7 acres of forest. The railway winds through trees and light displays. The trip takes about 6 minutes and can accommodate up to 700 people per night. Tickets can be purchased at the station, where you can also warm up and enjoy hot chocolate. Visitors must walk in from Roblin Blvd or from the 1 hour parking area in order to purchase train tickets. Those walking in will enjoy a 1000 foot lighted pathway in the bush, which will not be accessible to those who drive in. You can also enjoy a longer path of about 2000 feet that takes you deeper in the forest. This trail will take you past the new Gingerbread Village that can only be seen from this trail or by riding the train on the old line. This trail has been improved this year and has more lighting along its length. It is a natural trail so watch for roots and trees, etc. Walking problems please arrange in advance for parking on site. Train does not run when colder than -30 degrees actual temp. during snow storms etc. as we are sheltered in bush we no not worry about wind chill. Heavy snows may cause cancellation of service this year. Most trails and paths will be closed this year - please stay on lighted trails and paths. Enter trails and road at your own risk. We are not responsible for accidents. Parents watch your children. Lights will go out shortly after 9pm without warning.
