SUMMARY:Christmas Train Rides in Nevada
DESCRIPTION:If all you want for Christmas is a holiday-themed train ride\, Nevada’s historic rail lines are here to make your wishes come true. Climb aboard in Carson City\, Virginia City\, Boulder City\, and Ely for wintry excursions full of cheer and excitement. \n\n\n\nCelebrate the spirit of the holidays on themed trains featuring Christmas lights\, Santa Claus\, and the magic of “The Polar Express.” \n\n\n\n\n    \n        \n                            \n                Travel Nevada Pro Tip \n                \n            \n        \n        \n            \n            \n            \n        \n        \n            Each themed train ride has its own ticket prices and dates of operation. Get the most up-to-date information from each operator’s website. \n\n                    \n    \n            \n            \n            \n            \n    \n\n\n\nV&T Railway\n\n\n\nTake a short ride from Nevada’s state capital to the North Pole with the V&T Railway. Pajamas are encouraged on The Polar Express\, which features a reading of the beloved holiday story\, caroling\, hot chocolate\, and a holiday treat. Santa and his helpers will also gift every rider a silver sleigh bell. \n\n\n\nThe Polar Express offers six seating options\, and guests two years and older require a ticket. The train runs Nov. 14 though Dec. 23 on select dates (typically Thursday through Sunday)\, departing at 5 p.m.\, 6:30 p.m.\, and 8 p.m. \n\n\n\nNevada State Railroad Museum Carson City\n\n\n\nAlso in Carson City\, the Nevada State Railroad Museum invites kids (and kids at heart) to ride the rails with Kris Kringle. Returning for its 37th anniversary\, the Santa Train is described as a “merry little museum adventure.” In addition to a 30-minute outing on the Locomotive No. 25 steam engine and the 1875 Glenbrook\, riders can take photos with and write letters to Santa\, exchange their tickets for a raffle prize at the museum store\, and sing holiday songs. \n\n\n\nThe Santa Train runs on the first three Saturdays and Sundays of December. Tickets are $10 for ages 4 and up\, and free for children ages 3 and under. \n\n\n\nVirginia & Truckee Railroad\n\n\n\nChoo-choo-choose from two holiday excursions in Virginia City\, both offered by the Virginia & Truckee Railroad. \n\n\n\nThousands of twinkling LEDs set the holiday scene for the Electric Holiday Train O’ Lights. Vintage railcars are artfully adorned inside and out\, and the night skies make the lights shine even brighter. Santa’s Workshop awaits at the end of the line\, and the man himself will make a platform appearance and read out all the kids’ names. The Electric Holiday Train O’ Lights runs Fridays and Saturdays at 5 p.m.\, 6:30 p.m.\, and 8 p.m. from Nov. 28-Dec. 20\, and tickets are $40. \n\n\n\nOn the Candy Cane Express\, riders get cookies and a choice of hot chocolate or apple cider while taking in snowy Nevada views (and maybe wild mustangs\, too). Read stories and sing carols aboard fully decorated trains that’ll get you in the holiday spirit. Santa and his elves will present every passenger with a gift bag and light stick. The Candy Cane Express runs at 12 p.m.\, 1:30 p.m.\, and 3 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays from Nov. 29-Dec. 21\, as well as Opening Day on Friday\, Nov. 28. Tickets are $32. \n\n\n\nNevada State Railroad Museum Boulder City\n\n\n\nAt the Nevada State Railroad Museum in Boulder City\, double your fun with a pair of holiday trains. \n\n\n\nFor more than 20 years\, the Santa Train has delighted families in southern Nevada. Rock out to Christmas music as Santa and his helpers stroll through the train handing out treats and taking photos. The daytime Santa Train runs multiple times a day Nov. 29-Jan. 4\, and tickets for the 45-minute ride are $12. \n\n\n\nIn the evenings\, board the North Pole Express for sing-alongs and a reading of “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.” Mr. and Mrs. Claus will join you on the outing\, and everyone disembarks at Santa’s Railyard for cookies\, hot chocolate\, and games. Dress warmly—there just might be a snowstorm and snowball fight\, too. The North Pole Express operates Nov. 28-Dec. 21. First class seating is $45 for adults\, $40 for children\, and includes tabled train seating\, a gift bag\, and a priority line for refreshments and photos with Santa. Coach seating is $35 for adults and $30 for children. \n\n\n\nNevada Northern Railway\n\n\n\nThe Nevada Northern Railway transports folks from Ely to the North Pole on its most magical train of the year. See Saint Nick on Santa’s Reindeer Flyer\, decked out with lights and decorations. Hot chocolate and cookies are served along the 90-minute journey. \n\n\n\nSanta’s Reindeer Flyer runs on select dates Nov. 22-Dec. 27. Tickets are $45 for adults\, $38 for seniors (ages 65+)\, $20 for kids (ages 4-12)\, and free for kids under 4 years old.
