Santa Train Rides

Saturdays, November 25th, December 2nd & 9th, 2023 Rides at 11 am & 2 pm
Sundays, December 3rd & 10th, 2023 Rides at 2 pm

Once the train pulls out of the station for a 90 minute train ride, Santa visits with every child.  Our Conductors and Car Hosts will help you pass the time while waiting for your turn with the jolly old elf. 

Enjoy singing carols, watching the winter countryside or just relaxing with your family.  At the end of the ride, there are candy canes for everyone before Santa gives his final farewell.  Then he heads back to the North Pole to await his Big Night.
