Yes! Bring a camera to document your journey however flash photography is prohibited.

Summer - The entire experience takes place outside within a trail network which is partially leveled but not asphalted. These paths are not recommended for people with reduced mobility since they consist of several steep staircases, that are both up and down. Using a baby carrier is recommended although strollers are not recommended including the off-road/sports models.

Winter - The trail is mostly flat with one staircase, however trail conditions will vary depending on the weather so snow and ice may be possible.

Vallea Lumina is a 1.5 km trail through an old-growth forest. It takes approximately 50 - 80 minutes to walk through the show.

Restrooms are available at the venue before you begin the experience as well as after you complete it.

The Cougar Cafe, an on-site snack bar, will allow you to discover several local product flavours and is located at the entrance area.
