Event Details

Join Santa & his special helpers on the Granite State Railway for this season’s most-popular excursion out of Lincoln, NH.

Step aboard our trains and be welcomed into a world of holiday wonder in a timeless tradition. This enchanting 60 minute journey carries you through the beauty of New Hampshire’s winter woods, tracing the sparkling Pemigewasset river, while festive music and twinkling decorations, set the perfect holiday scene. Guests are invited to sit back, relax and saver chocolate chip cookies as our cheerful elves ensure everyone is taking care of with joyful hospitality. The cozy, festive atmosphere makes each moment on board feel like you’re stepping into the heart of the season.

As the train winds its way along the river, anticipation builds for the highlight of the ride, the visit of Santa and Mrs. Claus. With a sparkle in their eyes and a warm holiday cheer, they delight families with laughter, heartfelt greetings, and a chance for little ones to share their Christmas letter to Santa. Surrounded by the care of Santa’s helpers, in the magic of the decorated train cars, every guest is a part of an unforgettable experience. Our Santa trains are more than just a ride; they are a cherished holiday tradition where memories are made and the spirit of Christmas shines brightest.
