This Arizona Train Park Is Positively Enchanting At Christmastime

Trains have a way of bringing out the kid in all of us, and that nostalgic innocence is amplified tenfold at Christmastime. McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park in Scottsdale puts on a breathtaking light display each year sure to astound kids of all ages.

Hop aboard the Holiday Lights Train Ride and watch the showstopping scenes in action. Kids and kids at heart alike will watch in wide-eyed fascination as a locomotive draped in lights whizzes past all the displays.

Gather round this charming holiday village and escape to the North Pole! Look hard enough, and you just might see Santa's elves working tirelessly to put the finishing touches on toys before Christmas Eve.

Tunnels of pulsating, multicolored beams deliver sensory overload in the best way possible. It's like a holiday-themed carnival fun house!

Giant blowups of all the classic holiday characters command your attention. Frosty is standing tall and proud to spread Christmas cheer!

Santa will be making appearances until December 23, so bring the kiddos before it's too late! Maybe he'll grant those last few wishes in the nick of time.

Admission is free, and train rides are $5 per person. A small price to pay for Christmas magic!

The lights will be on from 6:30 to 9 p.m. nightly through January 6. You'll find the railroad park at 7301 E Indian Bend Rd., Scottsdale, AZ 85250.

After marveling at all the lights, head indoors to see a unique model train park. More information on that here: This Indoor Train Park Hiding In Arizona Proves There’s Still A Kid In All Of Us.
