Meet Santa on board, without waiting in line
1.5–2 hrs
Train ride, hot chocolate, cookies
Ride the rails at twilight on a holiday train where Santa comes to you. Settle in as he walks through the cars, taking time to talk with every child on board.
As we travel down the tracks, the first-seating group enjoys hot chocolate, chocolate-chip cookies, and stories in the historic dining car, while the second-seating group visits with Santa and sings carols in a coach.
Halfway through the journey, we stop the train and the people from the dining car swap places with the people visiting with Santa, and treated to the other half of the experience.
All tickets are non-refundable. Exchanges and transfers incur a $2 fee per ticket.
Product ID: NVZ22A
