Excursion Details
Climb aboard for a unique Christmas experience with a ride on the Santa Christmas Tree Express. Travel in comfort in our heated coaches as we dash down the tracks to our trackside Christmas venue. Once we arrive, step off the train to visit Santa, enjoy other special activities, and complimentary Hot Chocolate. There will also be a food vendor on site (CASH ONLY) Passengers will have approximately one hour to visit Santa and choose and purchase that unique Christmas tree from Dein's pre-cut Christmas Tree lot if they would like. We’ll bale and tag it, and you can watch it being loaded on the train. Then passengers and trees will be returned to the station. Once the train arrives back at the station, our crew will unload the trees and place them so you can take them to your vehicle.
##Please note that the tree cost is an additional cost. Christmas trees are priced individually and sold by Dein Nurseries. Prices will vary according to the size and variety of trees. Wreaths and potted trees will also be available. Cash and credit cards are accepted.
