If you’re interested in catching the North Pole Express at the Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum, you’d better hurry. Tickets are almost sold out.
“All Aboard” says the conductor, and your family’s journey begins to the North Pole. Through the dark night, the magical train makes its way to the top of the world. Upon arrival at the brilliantly decorated North Pole, Santa, Mrs. Claus, and the elves board the train to visit with your family and give each child a keepsake. Be sure to bring your camera to get a photo of your family with Santa and Mrs. Claus. Take a train ride filled with Christmas cheer as you ride the Santa Special! Board the vintage train decorated for the season and take a train ride where Santa will visit with all the boys and girls. Kids can talk with Santa and tell him what they’d like for Christmas. Make sure to bring your camera to get a photo of all the sights and make a picture of your family with Santa. For even more fun, be sure to wear your pajamas.
