Planning your visit

Use the official ticketing system and visitor FAQ for current admission, parking, accessibility, prohibited-items, and entry information. Do not rely on old promotions, cached search results, or third-party schedules.

Visitors crossing from Washington should carry the documents required for entry into Canada and allow extra time for border traffic. Travelers should also plan for sun, rain, heat, and extended walking. Bring hearing protection, especially for children.

Abbotsford International Airport remains an active airport. Follow event barriers and staff instructions. Never stop on surrounding roads or enter restricted property to watch or photograph aircraft.
