21st Annual Irvine Park Railroad Christmas Train Giveaway

Starting Early On The Merry!

Halloween may have just passed, but that doesn’t mean it’s too early to start planning Christmas. Shoot, I like to start planning for my favorite holiday in January! In my experience, when events and activities are amazing and popular you have to get your tickets early. Why get them early? To ensure you get the time that works best for your family. The Irvine Park Railroad Christmas Train is celebrating it’s 21st year and we’re offering a prize pack giveaway to one very lucky reader! This is a sponsored post, all opinions are my own.

A Magical Experience

One of our favorite family events of the year, the Irvine Park Railroad Christmas Train is a magical experience that is one-of-a-kind. We urge you to join the wholesome family fun with family and friends for an enchanting night ride through historic Irvine Regional Park to meet Santa Claus. The train will depart every 15 minutes from the brightly-lit train station and drop passengers off at the North Pole.

Christmas Train tickets are to be purchased to ride the train at a specific date and time. You may get in line and board the train any time during the hour for which you purchase tickets. Tickets may be purchased online ONLY and can be purchased beginning November 1st; tickets may not be purchased in person. 

While waiting to board the train, there are many activities for children to enjoy in Santa’s Village located next to the train station.

Activities will be open when the Christmas Train runs and include:

• Story Time with Mrs. Claus
• Christmas Cookie Decorating
• Carnival Games
• Ice Fishing
• Santa Claus Moon Bounce
• Christmas Coloring Corner
• Picture Stands

Prices for activities vary; for additional information and costs, visit www.IrvineParkRailroad.com.

Grab and Snack!

While waiting to see the jolly man himself at the North Pole, you may purchase coffee, hot chocolate, freshly-popped popcorn, hot pretzels and cookies from the Elf House Snack Bar. A full kitchen menu is available at the train station. You may take your own pictures with Santa or you may purchase a picture taken by Irvine Park Railroad. Each 5” x 7” photo will be presented with an Irvine Park Railroad frame and available for pickup shortly after being taken.

After visiting with Santa, hop back aboard the train and enjoy the colorful Christmas lights and decorations, as well as the magical “Tunnel of Lights”, on the ride back to the station.

When visiting the Christmas Train, remember to dress warmly, bring a camera and arrive early to avoid crowds. The Irvine Park Railroad Christmas Train is open beginning Thursday, December 1st through Friday, December 23rd. The cost to ride the Christmas Train is $12.00 per person.
