Santa Express
Join us for what has become a tradition for families across the Midwest. Take a ride on the Boone & Scenic Valley Railroad’s Santa Express, a journey that will take you from Boone to the North Pole and back! Santa will pass through the train, greeting children, and passing out a special gift.
On your journey, you will cross the 156-foot-tall Bass Point Creek High Bridge.
Your journey lasts approximately 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, depending on how long it takes Santa to pass through the train.
Train departures are Fridays at 6 p.m.; Saturdays at 10:30 a.m., 1 p.m., 3:30 p.m., and 6 p.m.; and Sundays at 10:30 a.m., 1 p.m., and 3:30 p.m.
Advance ticket purchase strongly recommended. These trains usually sell out weeks in advance!
