Harvest Glow Langley

Full disclosure: I am a Glow Langley Ambassador and received compensation in exchange for posts. However, all commentary, opinions, photos, and writing is my own.

Reader beware: puns ahead; also, you’re going to want to glow to Glow immediately

I’ve never been to Glow Christmas Langley before, so I didn’t really know what to expect when I heard that they were launching a Harvest version, but what expectations I did have were completely blown out of the water (out of the pumpkin patch?).

said pumpkin patch, for reference

Glow Harvest Langley is an incredible compilation of all of the best things about fall, but INSIDE. It’s a perfect event for our unpredictable temperate rainforest weather! Opening night was September 27th, and I’ve already been twice since. On opening night, I went with my ghoul Vanessa (check her out on IG at @vanessafromvancouver) to take photos of the event sans kids; OK, we also got some cute portraits — who could resist with all that perfect lighting?! Travis and I took the kids again on Saturday so that William could check it out before we leave to spend half of the month on our family vacation, including a trip to Disneyland (#firstworldproblems).

I’d say he had a great time, but then I wouldn’t be able to say he had a gourd time

So, having gone both with adults only and as a family, I can wholeheartedly say it’s a really gourd event for any outing, whether you’re planning to do something for a family activity or you’re glowing on a date night.

Glow is located at Milner Village Garden Centre just off Highway 10 (and like five minutes from Highway 1), so it’s pretty easy to get to regardless of what part of the Lower Mainland/Fraser Valley you live in.

The only thing outside are the food trucks, which greet you right as you walk in. There are SO MANY delicious food options, including poutine (my fave), pumpkin spice mini donuts, and deep fried Oreos! There’s also more food inside, too, as well as coffee for my fellow peeps suffering from permanent exhaustion.

  • Pumpkin patch ($5 per pumpkin if you are wanting to take some home) with a pumpkin carriage photo op
  • Three playgrounds for 3-12 year olds (and their parents/guardians)

    Clearly everyone else loved it, too! 
  • Petting zoo with pigs, goats, and bunnies! (so, true story: I saw black and white and thought these were miniature Holsteins. They are, in fact, goats. I don’t feel that bad about it because William thought the same thing, and he actually has good eyesight, so.)

  • Pony rides (donations recommended; we paid $5 for Will to ride)

  • IMG_0981
    He fell off the stool getting ON to the pony, but he’s a natural when he’s riding (and checking out poop, like in this photo)
  • Bouncy farm

  • Adult tickets are $11.99, while tickets for seniors and kids aged 4-12 are $8.99. Kids aged 3 and under are free! You can also buy a family pass for $39.99, which includes two adults and three kids (aged 4-12). You can buy tickets here: http://ssllink.me/q8xp

    There’s also a market with lots of local goodies and clothes, as well as a Glow store that sells a variety of products (I saw cute wooden toys, so I didn’t let myself go in #selfcontrol), and SO much more!

    I definitely plan to go again with the kids since it’s such a fun and affordable fall event!

    I’m so excited to glow again!

    Have you been to Harvest Glow already? If you have, let me know your favourite part! If not, you have until Halloween to get your glow on!
