One of my family’s favorite traditions is grabbing our coats and heading to Irvine Park Railroad and riding the Christmas train to visit Santa. Our Santa pictures for the past few year’s have come from our train ride to the North Pole. is the 3rd year we are doing it and we absolutely love it! We bundle up and love making it a special night.
Hop aboard the train for a fun ride to the North Pole, where you will be able to meet Santa and take pictures. Make sure to remember to bring your camera to capture your little ones with Santa.
We usually head to the park early to partake in the many fun activities including cookie decorating and Santa’s Bounce House. We usually head there early to try to avoid waiting in line. This year like last year you can purchase your tickets in advance online for a specific time and avoid waiting in line. You can purchase your tickets by clicking here.

My family would love to win these! We are on a budget and Christmas this year is going to be very slim. My son just turned 2 today and my husband and I are going to school full time, so are time as a family is very tight but cherished. A ride on the Christmas train sounds fun!!!
We LOVE going to Irvine Park Christmas train every year! This year we are a little tight on money, but we still really want to go! So we are hoping to win the tickets so we can all go! My daughter LOVES this train!
I heard that we HAVE to check this out over Christmastime. I’m hoping we can tickets so we can check it out. Thanks!
Oh that sounds fun! I would love to win this for my kids 🙂

Oh this sounds amazing! Money is soooooo tight right now for us so we already can’t do much for our boys this christmas so we decided to make the holidays all about Christmas spirit this year. If we won tickets it would be an amazing gift for our boys and an amazing Christmas experience!
Oh!!! This sounds like so much fun! Our little one would love this and I bet may become a family tradition!!!! We’d love to win some tickets!!!
My little girl is in love with trains! To take the train to see Santa would be magical for her (and her sister)! Thank you for these opportunities and for your blog!
My family would love to win
I would love to take my kids. We have never been, but have always wanted to.
This is something my family has not done before, but sounds like a wonderful tradition to start! A train + santa + cookies sounds like a great way to start off the holiday season. I can even stick to the family budget by winning the tickets and having the trip be FREE!
We really love Irvine Park, and frequent often for train rides since my lil guy loves trains. But we have yet to visit during Christmas time, and I can’t think of a better way to spend time as a family during this lovely season. <3
This sounds like a wonderful experience for my family. We love the Irvine Park RR but have never been on the Christmas train. Any opportunity we have to go out and do something together as a family is a special one.
Irvine park is the best, i would like to win for my lil boy he loves train and he would be soooo happy to be able to go and also this would be a great time to go out as a family. Money is a issue for us right now so this is perfect.
thank you!!!!!!!
We would love to go! This will be a quiet Christmas, focusing on doing things as a family rather than presents. This would be great fun for us:)
Being a single mother of two and unemployed, I would love to win these tickets to help make their holiday as special as possible. They love visiting santa and riding on the train, so I know how happy this would make them.
I’d love to win this for my 3 year old and my almost 4 week old. I can’t imagine a better way to celebrate the little one’s 1st Christmas.
I have a family of six that would love to take a ride on the train!
My family and I moved to Orange County the beginning of October, I discovered Irvine Park Railroad when they were running their Halloween pumpkin patch. My four year old and I had a blast at their Irvine Park Pumpkin Patch, and we planned on returning with the rest of the family for their Christmas Train. Winning these tickets would be AWESOME, it would even allow us to bring her grandparents.
I want to do this with my family!!! Sounds so fun! We have never been there, but with my kids loving train, I know it would be a blast. A new tradition to start!!
We love Irvine Park Railroad and during the week i take my daughter here often! She loves all they have to offer and i do too! It’s our tradition to visit Irvine Park Railroad during Christmas as well! We would love to win these tickets especially to be able to save a little money!
Our family loves the Halloween train and pumpkin patch, but we’ve never made it to the Christmas one. It would be awesome for the kids to see Santa at Irvine park, especially because we took our family Christmas pictures there this year.
We would love to do this as my kids favorite movie is the Polar Express, what a great way to show them the train, North Pole and of course Santa. I would love to start making this our Family tradition.
I follow Irvine Park Railroad on twitter
we love irvine regional park but haven’t been there during christmas yet. would love to win this!!
My family has never had a chance to do this before and it sounds like so much fun! My youngest daughter loves trains and both girls would love to see Santa! What a wonderful way to celebrate the holidays as a family.
Our son enjoyed the train when we visited the pumpkin patch in October so we know he will love the Christmas train too:-)
We love this park!! Especially at Christmas time!! Its so festive with all the pretty lights. I have 6 year old twin boys and an 8 year old boy and they are now at the age where they really appreciate things like this. Thank you!!
This giveaway would be great! We went to the Pumpkin Patch (finally) this year, and it was fun. We only bought tickets for the train ride (there’s 5 of us), but still had fun with all the free things to do…the maze was awesome!
So yeah, Love this Giveaway!
We’ll most likely still go regardless tho :O)
Thanks for the opportunity to win!!!!
My family and I LOVE the Irvine Park Railroad! We have yet to visit during Christmas, but it looks awesome! Sure hope to win this prize so we can go! Thanks for the chance!
We have yet to do Christmas at the Irvine Park Railroad, and I can’t believe we haven’t done it. Love this giveaway!
I would LOVE to win 🙂
I REALLY want to take my family here! We have always been out of town for the Holidays now we will finally be here to make it!
I follow on twitter
My son loves that place. He has visited there with the church.
We have never been on the Christmas train. My five year old daughter would love it!
This sounds like so much fun for a holiday family outing! I have two train-loving boys!
Great giveaway! I want to win because I’ve heard great things & I know my god-kids would absolutely love this.
Wow, would love to win. I have yet to take my family to this event. They would have lots of fun!
Thanks! 🙂
My have a two and three year old that love trains. It would be a blast to take them.
I recently visited Irvine Park with my granddaughter and had the best time. I would LOVE to win these tickets to take the whole family! Thank you.
This sounds like so much fun!! We would love to visit this place! I didn’t even know about it!! Thanks:)
I would LOVE this for a couple reasons. #1 There’s 5 of us and it pricey we have never been there. #2- I have a daughter with autism who likes trains and we had signed up for a free train ride through the Autism Society and last week I got an email it was cancelled for unforseen reasons. My husband works long hours we we don’t get to do many things together as a family as often and we would like and this would be a perfect Christmas gift for us.
Thank you for considering and please read my daughter’s blog.

Irvine Railroad Christmas Train is a family tradition for us too…ever since my oldest son was born! We LOVE it!! Grandpa, Nana, Mimi, & Opa come too. 🙂 We love cookie decorating, listening to Mrs. Claus read a story and sipping hot chocolate while we wait in line to see Santa.
We have never been! It looks so fun!
my boys would love this. My husband just started his own insurance business so we are on a very tight budget this year. It would be such a fun christmas treat for my kids!
My son loves the train ride! This will be a wonderful Christmas gift for him.
We had such a fun time here at Halloween on your recommendation. Would love to return to see it at Christmas!!
would luv to win this!! We have never done anything like this. I have a 16 yr old, 3 year old and a 2month old! We weren’t able to celebrate Cydney’s 3rd birthday because Camille (the 2month old) was born 5 days earlier!!! I would luv to make it up to her! She is a GREAT BIG little sister, not jealous and VERY helpful! She is always smiling and making us laugh! I would be so happy if you would pick me to celebrate her!!! Good Luck EVERYONE!!!
I want to go so bad, but we have never been able to afford it. my son loves trains, holiday lights, and Santa. He would love this!
we love the IRR since you posted the pumpkin patch atfer I have my first born. We have gone to several events and just because but yet to experience the Christmas train. I would love to go and take the family to see this wonderland and hope we get picked and share this with our neighbor who we try to include in our activities when we can because her family can’t.
We have never been to Irvine Park and would love to go. My little one loves anything on wheels and I would love to see his face light up when he sees the train!
We’ve heard so many wonderful things about the Irvine Christmas Train, but we’ve never had the $$ to be able to go. It would be wonderful to win this and take the kids.
Awww….Christmas magic at Irvine Park. Would love to take my daughter.
My daughter would love this!
My nephew is off work until Feb due to a surgery he had to have so money is really tight for him this time of year. I know being able to go to this with his daughter would brighten both his and her Christmas. So thank you for the chance to win.
WE love Irvine Railroad and can’t wait to do the Christmas train again this year. Last year my little was too young to really appreciate it but this year he is so into all the Christmas lights and he LOVES trains! What a treat this would be!
I’ve never been and would love to win the prize pack for my family to experience this railroad train ride and visit Santa.
This sounds so exciting! My two little girls love choo choo train. It would be wonderful if we could win this free offer.
Wish me luck~~ ^_^…
Oooh! I’ve always wanted to see the Santa Train! The kids would love it and hubs would love doing it for free 🙂
I follow the Irvine Railroad!
My 16 month old would LOVE to ride the Christmas train. He’s at the age where he is starting to really get excited about fun things like this and it’s so fun to see his little face light up.
I would be so thankful to be the winner of these tickets.
Merry Christmas!
Our family of 3 would love to win, our daughter had such a blast at the Pumpkin patch, going for Christmas would be awesome. Also since it’s the time for giving, If we were to win I would sharing half the tickets.
For the past 3 years my son was always scared of Santa. This year he said, “Mom, I wanna see Santa. I’m not scared anymore.” So I thought the train trip to see Santa would really make this a special first time experience for him.
Would love to win and take my kid on the train ride…We visit the irivine park for all their seasonal activities and its always fun..Hope to win..:)
My grandsons love trains, and how magical would this be for them and us, to to see their little faces. My husband lost his job June of this year so this would be a real treat.

We’ve never done this and have been wanting to do this for a couple of years now. Thanks!
Pick me!! We love the Irvine Railroad Park!! The kids have sooooo much fun there and never want to leave.

All three of my kids LOVE trains. This would be awesome!!!
What a fun way to make Christmas memories with my kids!
I would love to take a Christmas adventure. Money is tight and my 7 year old daughter would love to go on a train ride. Merry Christmas!!
My son loves trains. We haven’t done this at Christmas yet and would love to.
Well the reason I would like to win tickets is:
1) My grandkids would LOVE it!!!
2) I would LOVE being with my grandkids while they LOVE it !
3) This is something I have always thought would be fun to do, but forget that it’s there. Winning tickets would keep me from forgetting! = )
4) And probably the most important reason is because you told me I need to start entering contests so I can win!!!!
Thanks for the opportunity. You’re awesome!!!
My family would be so greatfull to win this give away to go have some good old family fun, This year my 2 year old daughter has fell in love with Christmas lights so she would have a blast. Good luck to all, and Happy Holidays… thanks
Would love the experience of the train and meeting santa.
This sounds like fun and my son loves trains. If we don’t win this raffle, I will still plan on taking my son. Thanks again for another fun event to attend.
I cannot tell you what a big deal winning this would be to my family. Ok, maybe I can. We attempted the train last year and had the most horrific experience. Instead of filling up pages with our experience, I will post the link to my blog story about it last year. It was awful and I would love the chance to “make it right” this year.

I spend a wonderful day at the Irvine Railroad Pumpkin Patch with two of my closest childhood friends, our children and seven of our grandchildren. I had such an enjoyable time that I would like to return for the Christmas Train ride to the North Pole. This is my youngest granddaughter’s 1st Christmas. Winning would be a Christmas Wish come true!!
My twins were born in February, and I’d love to start this holiday tradition with them.
We’ve never been – I’d love to give this a try and make some fun memories with my family!
