A new holiday tradition has arrived in Northeast Indiana! The Indiana Christmas Train departs Pleasant Lake, Indiana for a magical 90-minute roundtrip through the winter countryside with Saint Nick aboard!
Deluxe Coach, First Class, Family Packages, Private Suites, and Private Cars for families and groups are available. This year, we’re introducing the Christmas Cocktail Class reserved just for adults, a Private Lounge for groups of up to 15, and the Pullman Lounge and Pullman Tables on exclusive dates, and an Ornament Class, where guests can create their custom ornament during the trip.
Upon your arrival at Santa’s Station, enjoy carols with musicians, savor a warm drink from Travelin’ Tom’s Coffee, and climb aboard with our elves from Gia’s Balloon Buddies for holiday cheer. Santa will be on board every train and visit en route! All ticket sales support our non-profit historic preservation efforts in Indiana.
