Irvine Park Railroad Christmas Train Giveaway

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.
