Things To Do in Langley & South Surrey

Take in the lights at Morgan Crossing

Add a festive spin to your holiday shopping at one of the best outlet malls in Surrey. The annual Lighting Things Up at the Shops at Morgan brings the community together to watch as they turn on the holiday lights for the first time. To celebrate the occasion, there’s also a whimsical forest of lights, train rides, arts & crafts, festive treats and much more.

Honourable mention by Scott Moe: Visit the Cloverdale Town Centre on Dec. 1 for Surrey’s annual Santa Parade of Lights. It’s a magical evening inspired by the 1997 Coca Cola lighted truck commercial, which was partially filmed in Cloverdale.

Challenge your friends to indoor go-karting

If the weather outside looks frightful—there’s always indoor go-karting. Fast Track Indoor Racing in Langley is the best way to have some fun and bring out your inner competitive side. Their fastest model reaches speeds of up to 75 kms an hour. Race your friends or co-workers during a holiday work party. It’s the perfect spot to host a get together.

It’s a cozy spot to warm up after exploring all the little village has to offer.

Go ice skating

One of the most winter-worthy activities is putting on your skates and hitting the ice. Check out the South Surrey Arena or Twin Rinks in Langley. After you put in a few laps, warm up with a cup of hot chocolate.

Treat yourself to a spa day

On a cold and dreary day—you can get out and about while remaining completely relaxed. Langley’s all new Fluid Spa is an oasis for those looking to spoil themselves to a spa experience for the day or even just for an hour. It’s also a great gift idea to give someone over the holiday season.

Who says you can’t go to the beach during winter? Luckily for Metro Vancouverites—the weather is still mild enough to enjoy a brisk walk by the water (if you bundle up). South Surrey’s Crescent Beach is the perfect place to do just that.

Bring out your creative side at 4 Cats Arts Studio

This is a great idea for kids or just those young at heart. Create your own mug or choose another item to build that you can take home. It’s the perfect rainy-day activity and you don’t need any experience to do it. They have locations across Metro Vancouver, including one in South Surrey at SouthPoint Exchange Mall.
