Hop on board the Paradise & Pacific Railroad and experience a winter wonderland of holiday lights and displays. No trip to the park is complete without a spin on the historic Charros Carousel or a cup of hot cocoa from Hartley’s General Store.

Santa will also be at the park to visit and take photos with on the following nights:

Nov. 25-27

Dec. 2-4

Dec. 9-11

* Santa’s line will close nightly at 7:15 & 9:15 p.m.

  • The event will feature limited capacity  per one hour and a half time blocks at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. nightly

The park will only be accessible to those who have purchased tickets during a specific time block. Visitors will have an opportunity to ride the train and carousel as many times as they’d like during their time slot.
