Share a family holiday outing where a Christmas story meets a train ride
2 hrs
Train ride, story, Santa visit
Step into a Christmas tale through a dramatic reading about a young girl traveling to Muddy Creek Forks a hundred years ago to visit her grandparents for the holiday.
The event starts as guests gather in the festively decorated general store (starting 20 minutes before story time) to pick up tickets and enjoy traditional holiday fun. Visitors can listen to carols, create holiday decorations and crafts, search for the pickle ornament, and spend time with friends and family. See the working Lionel trains, some over a century old!
When all have gathered, groups are escorted to the mill for the story, a visit from someone special, and a keepsake ornament. Next folks line up on the station platform as the train pulls into town for a beautiful day or nighttime ride on the motorcar train.
When the train returns, Santa will be there so you can take those cherished photos. There will be hot chocolate and cookies to warm everyone up.
Tickets are non-refundable unless the event is cancelled. The event runs rain or shine unless ice makes rail travel unsafe. If the operator cancels due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances, you'll receive a full refund or credit. No-shows are charged the full price.
