SANTA’S NORTH POLE EXPRESS TRAIN

"A Classic Christmas Journey Begins Here"

Join us aboard Santa’s North Pole Express Train, our classic Christmas train experience, for a festive 60-minute holiday journey through Bucks County.

Enjoy Christmas music from our roaming musicians, hot chocolate, and a freshly baked cookie as Santa and Mrs. Claus make their way through the train to visit with families onboard. Each child receives a traditional sleigh bell from Santa to take home as a special keepsake.

With its warm holiday atmosphere, family-friendly traditions, and timeless Christmas charm, the North Pole Express has become a favorite way for families to celebrate the season together.

Wear your favorite Christmas pajamas, gather the family, and make memories aboard one of New Hope Railroad’s most beloved holiday traditions.

Optional photo packages are available for purchase.
