All Aboard Santa's Wonderland Express!

The Wonderland Express Train Ride this year features six runs daily on our heated, vintage train. You and your family get to enjoy a round-trip train excursion to Curriers Station (the halfway point), which is our North Pole. Children receive a wish list from Santa’s elf to complete during their journey. Once you arrive at the North Pole, there are tons of activities for the whole family to enjoy, including jumping on the lil’ elf sleigh, taking a family photo in Santa’s sleigh, mailing the wish-list, visiting the Elf House, and so much more! Of course, everyone gets a chance to visit Santa in his house with virtually no waiting line.
