Home Show Costs

Admission costs to the BC Home & Garden Show in March 2025 are the following:

Adults (ages 13+) – $16 at the door or $14 online before March 13th
Seniors (60+) – $13 at the door or $11 online before March 13th
Half Day Ticket (4:00 pm until close) – $8
Children (12 & under) – Free

TIP: Buy your tickets online and save $2 if you’re an adult or senior. Also, look out for the show’s 2-for-1 ads on social media. They appear as ads, so you can’t generally find them in their regular social media posts, just in their ads. You’ll sometimes see these deals shortly before the start of the event, so it can pay sometimes to wait a bit before buying your tickets.

What’s at the Show?

The Home & Garden Show is a trade show, so expect to see over 400 exhibitors with all kinds of home and garden displays.

At the event there are usually Jacuzzis, bed mattresses, furniture, fireplaces, kitchen gadgets, window displays, home decor and various other items for the inside of a house. There are also lawn care services, gutter repair people, outdoor patio furniture, lighting experts and timeshare sales agents.

You can also find cleaning product demonstrations, financial services agents and roofing experts, plus tons of other things of interest to people who have recently moved into a new place or are looking at renovations and upgrades where they presently live.

The Vancouver Fall Home Show is a similar event to the Vancouver Home & Garden Show, but in October instead of the winter or spring. Both are run by the same US-based organization. The main difference between the two events is the season when they take place – with one in the winter or spring and the other in autumn. Both focus on products and services for the home. The event in the winter or spring, however, also has lots of garden-themed vendors.
