Santa’s arrived! Every year we make it a point to take a ride on The Christmas Train at Irvine Park Railroad.
This year we were delighted to discover that Santa and his elves have been busy “decorating” at the North Pole. Santa has a beautiful new display that is just exceptional for family photos!
You’re not going to want to miss an opportunity to have your little ones visit with Santa, while capturing the magic of the season.
While you are waiting for your special time with Santa, his helpers are ready and waiting with coffee, hot chocolate, cookies and popcorn are available for purchase.
This year The Christmas Train tickets may be purchased to ride the train at a specific date and time and are available ONLINE ONLY via this website: www.IrvineParkRailroad.com
While waiting to board the train, there are many activities for children to enjoy in Santa’s Village located next to the train station. Activities will open one hour prior to when the Christmas Train runs and include:
- Story Time with Mrs. Claus
- Christmas Cookie Decorating
- Carnival Games
- Santa Claus Moon Bounce
- Christmas Coloring Corner
- Picture Stands
- Prices for activities vary; for additional information and costs
Take your own pictures with Santa or purchase a picture taken by Irvine Park Railroad ($10). Each 5” x 7” photo will be presented with an Irvine Park Railroad border and available for pickup shortly after being taken.
After visiting with Santa, hop back aboard the train and enjoy the colorful Christmas lights and decorations, as well as the magical “Tunnel of Lights”, on the ride back to the station.
When visiting the Christmas Train, remember to dress warmly, bring a camera and arrive early to avoid crowds.
