All aboard! SKC’s 2023 Guide to Holiday Train Rides with Santa!
The holiday season is in full swing and so are all the new and old (calling these train rides “The Polar Express”) family fun traditions! Taking an annual holiday train ride is a wonderful way for the whole family to enjoy the experience together. Get excited for some scenic winter wonderland railroad sights mixed with Santa, Mrs. Claus, elves, hot chocolate, reading of The Night Before Christmas and perhaps even some caroling fun for all!
Many holiday train ride dates sell out really quickly and way ahead of the season. With all the popularity and some safety restrictions securing a spot could be extra challenging. Looking ahead to next year be sure to sign up for our emails now so you have all the pre-sale details in time for purchasing tickets in 2024: SIGN UP HERE
