Ride the rails with the Fillmore & Western Railway on special trains running during the holiday season.
“Sugar Plum Express” trains depart from the historic Santa Paula Depot and include a daylight adventure to the Winter Holiday Village. Santa Claus will greet passengers, who can select a pre-cut Christmas tree, purchase unique gifts and enjoy the new “Winter Wonderland” walk-through. Little guests can hop in the Holiday Jolly Jumper, visit craft vendors, see Santa’s Workshop and view koi fish, pigs, peacocks and birds.
Fillmore & Western’s “Polar Express Train Ride” is set to the motion picture soundtrack. Passengers will relive the magic of the classic story as they are whisked away on a magical one-hour trip to meet Santa Claus.
Once on board, hosts will work their way through the coach and punch golden tickets before hot chocolate and a cookie are served by dancing chefs. Passengers will read along with the classic children’s book “The Polar Express” by Chris Van Allsburg.
Santa and his helpers also hop aboard the train to greet passengers with the first gifts of Christmas. Characters in each train car lead onboard entertainment and each guest will take home a keepsake sleigh bell. Families are encouraged to wear pajamas for the ride.
