Enjoy an old-fashioned Christmas train ride that includes a reading of the timeless classic, “A Night Before Christmas!” Kids love this experience.
Quick Details
Night Before Christmas Story Experience
This very special train recreates the excitement and anticipation of Christmas Eve. Clement Clarke Moore’s classic poem, “The Night Before Christmas,” comes alive as the train rolls along. Each train car has its own professional reader/performer to entrain on the train ride.
All guests receive complimentary milk and a cookie.
Please note: This is a Night Before Christmas performance train with individual performers on each car. Santa may make a surprise appearance at the end of the ride, however, if you are looking for a train ride with a personal visit with Santa for each family and photo opportunities with him, please see  Santa’s Paradise Express or Santa Claus Limited trains.
Our standard coaches are beautifully restored in authentic Victorian style. Enjoy the comfort of potbelly stove heat during cold days. During warmer weather, open the windows for some fresh air.
