Have you been getting that nagging feeling, like the year is just speeding by? Well I have, especially when I just realized that Santa is coming to town! Beginning Friday, November 27th, The Christmas Train arrives at Irvine Park Railroad.

The Christmas Train at Irvine Park Railroad has become an annual tradition with our family. We enjoy all the family activities, and especially, our visit and photo opportunity with St. Nick. Act now: Tickets are now available and can ONLY be purchased ONLINE via www.IrvineParkRailroad.com. Christmas Train tickets may be purchased to ride the train at a specific date and time — get in line and board the train any time during the hour for which you purchase tickets.

The Christmas Train is an enchanting night ride through historic Irvine Regional Park to meet Santa Claus. The train departs every 15 minutes from the brightly-lit train station and drop passengers off at the North Pole.

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:

• Storytime with Mrs. Claus
• Christmas Cookie Decorating
• Carnival Games
• Ice Fishing
• Santa Claus Moon Bounce
• Christmas Coloring Corner
• Picture Stands

Visitors may take their own pictures with Santa or you may purchase a picture taken by Irvine Park Railroad. Each 5” x 7” photo will be presented with an Irvine Park Railroad border and available for pickup shortly after being taken.

While you’re at the North Pole, refreshments will be available for purchase including coffee, hot chocolate, freshly-popped popcorn, hot pretzels and cookies from the Elf House Snack Bar.

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.
