Tis’ the season, once again for Irvine Park Railroad’s annual Christmas Train. Come with family and friends and take this enchanting night ride through historic Irvine Regional Park to meet Santa Claus. The train will depart from the brightly-lit station house and drop you off at Santa’s Village.

While waiting to meet Santa, you may purchase coffee, hot chocolate, freshly-popped popcorn and cookies from our Elf House Snack Bar to warm you up.

While meeting with Santa, children can express their wish list to him or Santa can retrieve your child’s letter that was mailed to him in care of Irvine Park Railroad. {Please see “Santa’s Mailbox” on this page for more details}.

Remember to bring your camera to capture memorable pictures with your family and Santa Claus. You may take all the pictures you want for free or we can provide a Polaroid picture at the cost of $5.00 each.

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