Santa's Paradise Express

Santa's Paradise Express

Weekends; 45 min. train ride with Coach, Dining Car with meal selections, and First Class Car ticket options are available. A Christmas tradition since 1959, Strasburg Rail Road welcomes a very special visitor every November and December. That’s right, Santa himself will climb aboard the historic steam train to greet families as they travel down the tracks to Paradise, PA and back. As a special treat, children ages 11 and under will receive a gift from Santa and his helper during this nostalgic 45-minute steam train ride. Additionally, guests can enjoy Value Added attractions (when open), a Christmas market, a visit with Mrs. Claus, and music from professional carolers and musicians. Santa Letters: If you would like a return letter from Santa, please bring a self-addressed stamped envelope with you and place it in the “North Pole Express” mailbox located near the Mrs. Claus area. First Class train car passengers receive complimentary hot cocoa and a cookie.
