Update: Thank you all for entering. The grand prize winner is Robyn. The runner ups are Nikki, Betty L and Charyl.

We love Irvine Park and the Irvine Park Railroad. We visit often and it’s become a tradition to head to Irvine Park Railroad for Easter, Halloween and my favorite holiday of all, Christmas. This will be the 4th year in a row that we have made our way up to the Irvine Park Railroad Christmas train to visit Santa and participate in all of the fun activities. We bring our extended family, a thermos filled with hot chocolate, treats and take the train to meet Santa and take pictures.

We usually head to the  park early to partake in the many fun activities including cookie decorating and Santa’s Bounce House.  The kiddos love cheesing around the different photo stations and also love storytime with Mrs. Claus. There are quite a few fun activities that are free of charge for the family. If you get there early you can usually  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.

The train opens it’s doors on December 2nd  to December 23rd.

One family will win 6 Christmas Train tickets + 8 activity tickets

Three other families will win 4 regular train tickets + 1 Wheel Fun Rentals at Irvine Park bike rental coupons (good for the single surrey bikes too!!) + 4Orange County Zoo passes.
