Santa’s a busy man, especially at this time of the year. Fortunately, he’s managed to squeeze in a ton of public appearances throughout the Christmas season in Pennsylvania. He’s hosting brunch at Elmwood Park Zoo and visiting the It’s A Wonderful Life Festival in Indiana. Santa will also be joining kiddos and their families aboard the Santa Express in Pennsylvania, a magical train ride where you’ll create lifelong memories.

All aboard the Santa Express, hosted by the Stourbridge Line in Honesdale, for an enchanting Christmas experience that's perfect for kids (and adults) of all ages.
