The North Pole Train Ride In Rhode Island That Will Take You On An Unforgettable Adventure

The holidays are upon us at last! If we aren't careful though, the season will slip by us all too quickly – and if you have young children, it's even more important to make the most of every moment. There's one simple way to bring a little magic to your whole family, though – a train ride with the big bearded man himself.

Each December, the Newport & Narragansett Bay Railroad Company offers train rides with Santa Claus himself, on a beautifully decked out train that will remind your kids of a storybook.

Choose from a breakfast or lunch train ride – both depart from Portsmouth station, and the rides last about 90 minutes.

You'll enjoy a tasty meal onboard with your family – all of the seating for this ride is at tables, so you'll all be relaxed and comfortable.

Seating is limited on these special seasonal rides to ensure every child has a magical moment with Santa – he'll meet with each and every one individually.

With stories and cheer for all, the train ride will fly by.

It's sure to become a treasured memory for your whole family, young and old alike.

The train rides are offered each Saturday and Sunday in December, up until the weekend before Christmas. To learn more and buy tickets, visit the Newport and Narragansett Bay Railroad Company's website.
