About

Join us on the North Pole Express as we head to find Santa Claus in his magical home at the North Pole.

Your journey begins when you arrive at the Railway Museum of BC's Train Station in preparation to board The North Pole Express train to the North Pole.

While exploring his beautiful home, take the time to decorate a gingerbread cookie, try your hand at colouring and arts and crafts, write a letter to the man himself or take in the massive Christmas model railway city. Before or after your visit with Santa be sure to take a ride with your whole family on Santa’s very own miniature railway.

This will be a 2-3 hour experience of delight and adventure that is sure to create happy family memories for many years to come.
