Santa's coming to town aboard the North Polar Special ... (none other than the vintage train cars Overland Trail and her running mates).

Sign up now for a wonderful Christmas event like no other. Do you still believe? Then don't miss this opportunity to join Conductor Bill and St. Nick as they race between Los Angeles and San Diego on a real express passenger train.

Some of the features that all will enjoy:

  • A special souvenir ticket punched by the conductor.

  • A souvenir "first gift of Christmas sleigh bell".

  • Hot chocolate!

  • A reading of Chris Van Allsburg's Polar Express by the conductor.

  • An individual visit with Santa.

  • The thrill of a real train ride to San Diego and back.

  • Food and beverage that is included in the price of your ticket.

  • Photo opportunity with Santa and the Conductor.

Please note that this event is a real train ride to San Diego and back. From Los Angeles, there is about 6 hours of "entertrainment. There will be about 25 minutes to "stretch your legs" at San Diego, but then we turn right around and return to your station of embarkation.

There are no food or beverage purchases allowed on the train ... because it's included in your fare! (Sorry ... if you were expecting to be gouged in the pocket book because you're a captive audience ... just won't happen)

Please, for security and safety's sake, no more than 2 children per adult

Kids of all ages will surely enjoy the train trip, but please consider your younger child's ability to handle a 6 hour train ride

Children may wear pajamas if they choose, but must have house shoes (or better) and bath robes would be highly recommended as well

Depending upon passenger load, we may operate two vintage cars, in which case, passengers will enjoy seating in one car southbound and the other northbound
