Event Details

ADVANCE TICKET PURCHASE IS RECOMMENDED FOR THIS EVENT

Don't miss this unique opportunity to capture your holiday photo with Santa, positioned by vintage trolley cars taken by renown photographer Marc Glucksman of River Rail Photo. Marc Glucksman is a lifelong photographer and electric traction fan. His work can be seen across a variety of publications and platforms, including the New York Times, CNN and Trains Magazines. A digital copy is included in the cost of pictures with Santa. Pictures will be available on Marc's website for purchase along with holiday card options, digital download, tote bags, picture packages and more.

Winterfest and the Tunnel of Lights is celebrating its 44th year as a family holiday tradition. Halls are decked both inside and outside with over 15,000 lights. Outside, closed trolley cars transport jolly guests down a tunnel of lights for 20-30 minutes as they sing traditional Christmas carols with their trolley car operators. For an open air view of the Tunnel of Lights, one open sleigh car is lit up entirely with holiday lights. Be sure to dress warm and bring blankets! Inside, the Visitor Center is decorated like a Winter Wonderland with multiple model train layouts and lights galore.

The museum has teamed up with Campiti Ventures who has created holiday hologram short films. There will be several displays to view during the tunnel of lights trolley ride and while visiting in the Visitor Center. This is a unique experience for all ages!
