Santa's North Pole Express
Dates & Times
Thank you for your interest. Santa’s North Pole Express trains are now full. Please join our waitlist and we will reach out to you if we are able to fulfill your request.
Santa's North Pole Express is open throughout the holiday season to the delight of visitors to the Christmas Capital of Texas®. Please see a list of dates and times for each excursion between Friday, November 29, 2024 and December 30, 2024. Santa will be busy working and traveling December 24, 25 and 26, so trains will not run those days. The trains on Thursday, December 5, will leave from and return to Historic Stockyards Station in Fort Worth.
Times listed below are the train boarding times. We recommend arriving more than an hour early to find parking, get your tickets and enjoy the pre-boarding show in the tent - featuring elves, lights and music - before boarding. Check in will begin 20 minutes before your departure time, and this is when the ticket and boarding tent will open. For scheduling reasons, train doors will close five minutes prior to departure. Passengers will not be allowed to board after the doors are locked.
