Santa’s Trolley Express at the Fox River Trolley Museum

All Aboard for Holiday Magic at the Fox River Trolley Museum!

Celebrate the season with a heartwarming holiday train ride that’s bursting with nostalgia, joy, and festive wonder! Climb aboard our beautifully decorated 1950s vintage elevated cars and journey down an authentic train line dating back to 1896—an unforgettable adventure your entire family will cherish.

As the train rolls along, the magic continues with a very special guest—Santa Claus himself—who will visit each family for merry chats, posing for cheerful selfies, and spreading holiday cheer that will delight both kids and grown-ups alike.
