If you’re not interested in the consumer side of the event, or are travelling with children and family, don’t worry, the event has something for everyone from a silent auction and a “hot rod zone” to a BC strongman competition and a stand-up comedy show. Why not visit our Aldergrove hotel location, in November and stop by the event to help show your support for a worthy cause? Tickets start at $10.00 for adults and $6.00 for youth, and, if you’re sporting a supportive moustache, you save $2.00 off your entry fee.

Our hotel chooses to support special events like this one at TRADEX by offering all year round aldergrove hotel specials to attendees and exhibitors of the shows. These specials include free room upgrades and room and entertainment highlights during your stay.

If you’re visiting the Fraser Valley with a significant other, why not try out one of our fun and romance packages which include: accommodation, a welcome basket with champagne and chocolate, late checkout, afterhours access to our pool and free breakfast in our hotel restaurant.

The show is located at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre, just 15 minutes away from our Aldergrove hotel location.  Toy Story 3, the latest episode in Disney’s popular series, is about a group of loveable toys, who stick together despite an uncertain future when their owner, Andy, goes away to college. There’s no doubt that the show will bring your children’s favourite characters to life in a seasonal adventure the whole family can enjoy. Lucky for all of our guests, there’s even a special promotion happening right now where if you hurry and buy tickets for the opening night, you’ll get them for 50% off. With that kind of deal, it’s hard to justify not coming down and seeing the show for yourself!

If you’re thinking about visiting our Aldergove hotel with your extended family, or with a large group of friends and kids, why not ask us about our group rates? We have specials designed to make your vacation in Aldergove the best it can be.

The EcoDairy farm is committed to showcasing innovative and sustainable dairy farm practices. Over 80 acres of lush farmland and many live farm animals provide hours of diversion and pleasure. So, what’s there to do at the farm?

There’s an interactive Learning Centre and theatre, an animal exhibit where you can get up close and person with goats, a miniature pony and other friendly fam animals. Of course, being a dairy farm, you can also meet the Vitala cows and see how they get milked! Tours are also provided for groups of 15 people or more.

A great fact about the farm is that it aims to not only make guests feel comfortable, but its cows too! Vitala cows sleep on mattresses in individual comfort stalls, walk on soft, rubber covered flooring, have a climate controlled natural ventilation system and even a rotating brush for self-grooming!

The farm is open everyday except Mondays and tour information is available on their website. After a fun-filled day of learning, come back to our Aldergrove hotel and unwind in our beautiful suites with your family. Contact our friendly staff today to book your stay.
