The North Pole Train Ride In Arizona That Will Take You On An Unforgettable Adventure
Arizona is home to several Christmas trains, and one we haven’t mentioned yet just happens to be presented by the world’s largest animated drive-thru light show. Onboard the Illumination Express at Schnepf Farms, you’ll journey through millions of holiday lights synchronized to festive tunes.
For the 2nd year in a row, Queen Creek's Schnepf Farms is alive with the spirit of Christmas.
Christmas at Schnepf Farms is a month-long celebration that includes shopping, hayrides, mini-golf, letters to Santa, the Illumination Express train, and so much more festive fun.
Presented by World of Illumination, the train ride takes passengers on a whimsical journey through more than a million lights synchronized to classic holiday hits.
Despite his jam-packed schedule, St. Nick has managed to carve out some time for photos with all the good boys and girls on the Nice List. Before he sets off, they can whisper their greatest wishes in his ear and hope he comes through on Christmas morning.
Everywhere you look, the sights and sounds of the season make for a holly jolly experience kids one to ninety-two will surely enjoy.
Plenty of hand washing and sanitizing stations are available, staff members have temperature checks before every shift, and the number of guests allowed on the farm is limited. You can read more about the safety measures on the Christmas at Schnepf Farms website.
Christmas at Schnepf Farms takes place from 5 p.m. until 10 p.m. nightly thru December 31.
Tickets are $17 per person ages two and up, or $15 if you purchase online. Riding the Illumination Express costs an extra $7, and the obstacle course is $5.
