Hop Aboard The Santa Express In Pennsylvania This Holiday Season

Santa Claus is coming to town, but before he drops down chimneys all over the world on Christmas Eve, he’s making a detour in West Chester. The man of the season, in fact, will join families on the magical Santa Express in Pennsylvania for a scenic train ride that promises to be one of the highlights of the season. However, if you want to climb aboard, you’ll have to get your tickets soon, because they tend to sell out fast.

The Santa Express pulls out of the Market Street Station, in West Chester, with Santa onboard, on weekends in November and December.

Multiple departures are available each day, but be forewarned that tickets sell out really quickly. You can purchase tickets here.

Climb aboard the heated train for a leisurely 75-minute meander along the railroad tracks that will take you to Glen Mills and back to Market Street Station.

Santa will be on hand at Market Street Station to greet all passengers on the Santa Express then will go along on the holiday train ride.

Make sure the kiddos bring along their Christmas lists for Santa, who will make time for a visit with each passenger during the journey. Live entertainment will also be featured.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, the Santa Express will feature a few changes for the 2020 season, including running at only 50 percent occupancy to allow for social distancing. All riders three years and older *must* wear a mask.

Tickets for the Santa Express cost $30 for adults and $20 for kids between two and 12 years. Little ones from nine months to 23 months cost $8.

West Chester Railroad will also host its special Christmas Tree Train on November 28 and 29 and December 6 and 13, 2020. Trains depart at 8 a.m. for the journey to and from Wiggins Tree Farm, where you can cut your own tree.
