Santa Express™
Train Rides with Old Saint Nick
Make Mid-Continent Railway Museum part of your family’s holiday season tradition.
Now in its third decade, the Santa Express is Mid-Continent’s traditional Christmas train that includes a visit from Santa Claus and a small gift from Santa’s elves for the children during a 55-minute ride. This experience is perfect for families with younger children or adults who are young at heart.
Celebrate the holiday season in a uniquely festive way aboard the annual Santa Express. Santa will visit as you take in the spirit of Christmas past on an early 1900s adventure. All cars are kept comfortably warm using our century-old tradition of steam heating or coal-fired stoves, just like at the North Pole.
