Christmas City Express

The event starts as guests gather in the festively decorated general store (starting 20 minutes before story time) to pick up tickets and enjoy traditional holiday fun. Visitors can listen to carols, create holiday decorations and crafts, search for the pickle ornament, and spend time with friends and family. When all have gathered, groups are escorted to the mill for the story, a visit from someone special, and a keepsake ornament. Next, folks line up on the station platform as the train pulls into town for a beautiful day or nighttime ride on the motorcar train. When the train returns, Santa will be there so you can take those cherished photos. There will be hot chocolate and cookies to warm everyone up.
