Christmas City Express Train

The Christmas City Express is a storybook experience recommended for families with children and the young at heart. The performance begins in the Lake Superior Railroad Museum, where you’ll be treated to a classic book reading of the new Christmas City Express story, enjoy carolers, and a visit from a special guest! Then it’s time to hop on the train for a cheerful 30-minute ride out to Lake Superior’s shore — complete with holiday music, singalongs, some narration, twinkling lights, and all the warm fuzzy feelings.

Onboard, you’ll be treated to complimentary hot chocolate and cookies to keep the magic going. This event is created with shorter attention spans in mind, making it a great fit for kids under 10 (though every year, we see grown-ups grinning just as much as the little ones). It’s sweet, simple, and pure holiday joy. About 90-minutes in total from arrival to finish.

The museum is included with your tickets during/after performance, not beforehand, its only about 20 minutes of time to explore after the performance. If you come earlier in the day or the next day (prior to 3pm) you can tour the museum for 50% off.
