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.
