Passengers will take off from the famous orange train station located at 278 Main Street in Arcade, NY.

Your ride on the A&A will take you to Currier's Station, which will be transformed into the North Pole with twinkling Christmas lights, Santa's reindeer, and more!

Once you unboard the train at the "North Pole," you will get a chance to visit with the reindeer, participate in activities in the Elf Workshed, and take a walk through Santa's Workshop!


It's evident that Mrs. Claus has been busy decorating for the season! Children will be filled with wonder when they get a chance to see where Santa and his Mrs. live!

Every parent knows you can't take a train ride to the North Pole with your kids without snapping a few hundred forced pictures, right? Lucky for you, Santa's red sleigh will be available for your kiddos to pile in to say "Cheese!" with Santa and Mrs. Claus at their sides!

Don't leave without popping into the Elf Workshed to make your own bag of reindeer food! And don't let your little ones forget to grab their goodie bags with magic jingle bell keepsakes from Santa!

The train departs from Currier's Station (AKA the North Pole) for a ride back to Arcade. But not to worry - the fun isn't over once you leave the N.P.! Children will receive a plush toy from the elves on the trip back to the station.

The just-over-two-hour trip is the perfect amount of time for kids to enjoy the experience without getting fidgety! And adults always appreciate learning the history and seeing the wonder of the season through the little ones' eyes.
Tickets for the A&A’s North Pole Express are $28 for adults and $26 for children, seniors, and veterans. Don’t miss out on this exciting holiday experience! The event runs on weekends through December 23rd, but seats are going fast – so head to their website to reserve your spots while you still can!
