Irvine Park Railroad - Christmas Train
If you have been following me for while, it's no secret that The Irvine Park Railroad is one of our favorite parks for the holidays or any time of the year. We have made some very special family memories since Alexia was born (7 years ago) and we continue making them to this day. At this point our visits have not only turned into amazing memories but more like yearly traditions, especially for their Annual Holiday Events. I suggest you keep reading for an amazing chance to make your very own memories!
This year Irvine Park Rail Road is celebrating their 24th Annual Christmas Train-2019 and we are so excited to be visiting. Its the perfect outing for families and friends to take an enchanting night ride through historic Irvine Regional Park and get dropped off at the North Pole to meet Santa Clause.
While waiting to board the train to the North Pole there are many other fun activities for children to enjoy in Santas village located next to the train station and include:
Story time with Mrs. Clause
Christmas cookie decorating
Carnival games where everyone is a winner
Ice Fishing
Santa Clause Moon Bounce
Craft Corner
Blizzard Ball
Christmas coloring corner
Picture stands
Prices for activities vary and you can find them at www.Irvineparkrailroad.com.
Once at the North Pole there will be so many fun things to do and see. Want to take that yearly picture with Santa? You can take your own pictures or you can purchase a picture taken by Irvine Park Railroad. Each 5x7 photo will be presented with an Irvine Park Railroad frame and will be available to pick up shortly after being taken. Kiddos can print and fill out this wish list and bring it to share with Santa.
Not only will you meet Santa Clause but you will get to purchase coffee, hot chocolate, freshly- popped popcorn, hot pretzels, and cookies from Santa's Snack shop.
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.
