This weekend marked the very beginning of Santa’s Paradise Express at the Strasburg Railroad! Running every weekend up until Christmas, we had a chance to check out this holiday tradition TODAY.
What a wonderful time! The weather could not have been more perfect (though the train is fully enclosed, so inclement weather would not have been a problem).
Santa actually visited each and every train car en route and paused for pictures with each family. He also gave every child a small toy!
Strasburg Railroad provided us with tickets so that we could check out Santa’s Paradise Express and report back to you about what we thought! All opinions are 100% ours.
OMG!!! My kids would love this!! =)
this sounds like so much fun!!
We really enjoyed it!
My daughter loves trains and this is the first year she’s into Santa. This would be so much fun!
She would love it!
Oh wow this looks so magical I would love to take my hailey & gabriel on this. They love the Polar Express, this would be so cool for them to see..
I love the Polar Express, too- it reminded me a lot of that!
