Santa’s Paradise Express – Strasburg Rail Road

Santa Train Ride To Paradise

Ho, ho, ho! Santa’s aboard this classic steam train for a holiday ride to remember!

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 small gift from Santa during this nostalgic 45-minute steam train ride.

A visit with Mrs. Claus, letter writing, music from professional carolers and musicians, a Christmas “review show” at the Town Square Stage, and outdoor mall activities are all included with each ticket. First Class guests receive complimentary hot cocoa and a cookie.

Santa Letters: If you would like a return letter from Santa, please bring a standard-sized (No. 10), self-addressed stamped envelope with you and place it in the “North Pole Express” mailbox located near the Mrs. Claus area.
