Hop Aboard The Santa Express Train In New Hampshire To Feel The Magic Of The Season
It’s a magical time of year in New Hampshire. Days are shorter, temperatures are going down and, little-by-little, lights across small towns and cities are going up! This time of year certainly makes things feel happier and more cozy. That’s why we’re always on the hunt for more ways to keep this feeling going. One of the best is this annual train ride that’s sure to put you in the spirit.
The Hobo Railroad in Lincoln offers year-round events for families and friends, but it's their annual holiday train ride that puts us in the spirit!
The Hobo Railroad is family-owned and the Hobo Junction Station is a fun place to visit if you love trains. Kids will love the magical set-up of decorations that truly feel like the North Pole.
Every weekend between November 27th and December 20th the Santa Express train departs the Hobo Junction Station for a scenic ride along the Pemigewasset River.
While the views are tremendous, the company is even better! Every rider will meet Santa and Mrs. Claus and children will have the chance to write them letters to be mailed.
Remember to book soon, as capacity is limited given current COVID-19 restrictions. With just 50% capacity allowed, each of these rides will likely sell-out early. And you won't want to miss it!
The Santa Express Train operates on weekends beginning Friday, November 27th through Sunday, December 20th. You can learn more about it and get tickets on their website.

In addition to the smell of ocean water in the air on rainy days in Portland, she loves puppies, photography, funny people, the Maine Red Claws, traveling, fresh tomatoes, Cambodia and filling out forms.
