The Volunteer Railroaders Association aka VRA runs their very popular NJ Santa Train Rides every year in early December. Each round trip will last about 90 minutes giving everyone plenty of time to enjoy the festivities on the train. All of our trips have been very well received. These christmas holiday decorated train rides are pleasant family fun with the little children enjoying the most!
During the approximately 90 minute ride the Santa Claus will Ho Ho Ho his way through the train and visit each child giving them a special gift from his bag. In addition each child can have their picture taken with Santa Claus so they can always remember their ride, so bring your cameras. On board will be Mrs. Claus and several other surprise cartoon characters sure to entertain the kids and make for a great day out for all on board.So why not gather up the kids and grandparents and have some great christmas time fun with the VRA's Santa Claus train ride? You will be helping to preserve history for generations to come to enjoy.
