Ride The Rails To A Magical Christmas Village On The Creekmore Express In Arkansas

There are lots of ways to view holiday décor and Christmas lights in Arkansas. You can view them by foot, by car, and…by train! That’s right; you can hop aboard the Creekmore Park Christmas train and take a magical journey through a twinkling wonderland of holiday lights – and it’s as festively fun as it sounds.

Creekmore Park is one of Fort Smith’s best assets. Touted as a “specialty park,” it boasts a pool, tennis center, mini golf course, and a train, the Creekmore Express.

The park gets even better in late November when it’s transformed into a magical Christmas village. With thousands of animated lights and festive scenes, it's one of the best places to visit during Christmas in Arkansas.

Aside from the décor, there’s another big change that comes about during the Christmas season.

The Creekmore Express becomes the Creekmore Holiday Express, taking visitors on a whimsical journey through the decorations that adorn the park.

Not surprisingly, the fun and festive Christmas train in Arkansas is a favorite of all ages.

There’s no cost to ride the Creekmore Holiday Express, which runs seasonally from late November through late December. (Train rides are offered on select dates and times.)

*The holiday lights at Creekmore Park, which are also free to visit, are another park perk that makes visiting during the holiday season a must. The lights are typically on display through early January.
