Holiday Events at Strasburg Rail Road

Christmas comes to Strasburg Rail Road! The new Night Before Christmas Train and Christmas Feast along with the traditional Santa's Paradise Express events will delight kids of all ages.

Strasburg, PA (PRWEB) November 09, 2012

Nestled in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country, historic Strasburg Rail Road offers holiday events for kids, families and couples! From meeting Santa, to hearing the holiday classic “Night Before Christmas” or indulging in a Christmas feast – start your Christmas festivities abroad the train.

Night Before Christmas Train:
New this year, the Night Before Christmas Train runs on three Friday evenings during the holiday season, November 30, December 7 and 14. This very unique train recreates the excitement and anticipation of Christmas Eve. A reader dressed in a Victorian nightshirt and cap will read Clement Clarke Moore's classic poem, The Night Before Christmas, as passengers enjoy cookies and milk as the train rolls along. After the train ride, children are also treated to storybook readings of holiday classics aboard our Caboose (stationary) and visitors of all ages can enjoy a ride aboard the Tinsel Trolley, a self-propelled motor car.

In the spirit of the season, kids may come dressed in pajamas and bring along a new pair of pjs to donate to Water Street Ministries' families in need. Just by attending this event, your participation will help men, women and children who are in need in our community. $5.00 from every ticket will support the work of Water Street Ministries.
