Everyone loves Santa!

Perhaps the most popular theme train of the year is the Santa Train. Early ticket purchase is recommended for family group seat selection. Santa makes extra stops to ride the train for each departure. Elves will escort each child to see Santa individually so parents can take pictures.

All of our coaches are comfortably heated and each has a restroom.
