This unique experience is a highlight, allowing kids to immerse themselves in the season’s wonder.
The Journey to the North Pole
Once aboard the Verde Canyon Railroad, the holiday adventure truly begins. The train ride takes you on a magical one-hour round-trip into the festive night.

Before arriving at the North Pole, you’ll pass through a mystical tunnel, where a magical winter wonderland awaits.
Santa’s Village at the North Pole
The real Christmas magic comes alive at the North Pole as the train rolls past several beautifully crafted life-size buildings, including Santa’s Workshop, Mrs. Claus’ Bakery, and the Reindeer Flight School. Children and adults alike will be in awe of the festive village filled with holiday delights. As the train slows, Santa Claus boards for the return trip, adding a special touch to this unforgettable adventure.
