Enjoy the holidays while riding the rails! There are two great train stations in Central KY that offer special Holiday events.
The Bluegrass Railroad Museum in Versailles Santa Trains 2018
When snowflakes start to fly in Kentucky, Santa and Mrs. Claus bring Holiday Cheer to the Bluegrass Railroad Museum. For the 2018 Season, the Claus’ will arrive (with help from the Versailles Fire Dept.)
Saturday and Sunday Dec. 8th & 9th and Dec. 15th, 2018 at 2 p.m.
11 am on Saturday Dec 8th and Dec 15th, 2018
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.
Reservations are highly recommended.
