About

Santa Trains – A Magical Christmas Journey
Online pre-booking required – limited numbers available

Climb aboard our ever-popular Santa Trains and set off on a heart-warming festive adventure the whole family will treasure! Your journey begins at the twinkling North Pole Halt, where the train steams its way through wintery scenes towards the magical Santa's Halt — a true Christmas wonderland.

Step off the train and into Santa's cosy grotto, where little ones will have the chance to meet Santa himself, share their Christmas wishes, and soak up the sparkle and wonder of the season. Every child will receive a special present, adding an extra touch of Christmas magic to the day.

Your ticket includes a return train journey, festive refreshments, and all the joy that comes with a truly traditional Christmas experience — minus the rush and stress.

✨ Make it even more magical
Why not take the hassle out of parking and turn it into a full festive outing by booking a Tinsel Tram from Douglas? Sit back, relax, and let the Christmas cheer carry you all the way to Santa's doorstep.
