Santa will be visiting the Danbury Railway Museum again this year! So bundle up the kids and take a ride in a vintage train through the historic railyard to visit him. The event will take place on Saturdays and Sundays, December 4, 10-11, and 17-18. Trains will depart every half-hour from 12:00pm to 3:30pm on Saturdays; 12:30pm to 3:30pm on Sundays. Admission is $12.00 for ages 2 and up (under 2, free). Each child will receive a small gift from Santa. Based on the popularity of this event the past couple of years, reservations are suggested. Also, on Saturday evenings there is a special train time at 4:30PM where families can take an evening ride through the lighted railyard!
The short train ride will take you through the railyard, past the only powered turntable in Connecticut and over 70 vintage railroad cars, locomotives and many unique pieces of railroad history. The train ride will terminate at Santa's own private railcar where you'll be greeted by Mrs. Claus and Santa's helpers in Toyland.
Of course, the exhibits and multiple operating model train layouts inside the restored 1903 Danbury station will also be open as will the be the well-stocked gift shop. Also inside the station, you’ll find free hot chocolate, temporary tattoos and other activities for the little ones.
