Frequently Asked Questions
Does my infant need a ticket?
Babies under 1 don't need a ticket, but they must sit on your lap. Everyone else needs a ticket.
Can our large group sit together?
Each purchase is capped at 8 tickets. Seating is first come, first served, so large groups should arrive 45 minutes early and line up together. You can also arrange to meet on one of the numbered cars, 1 to 6. Every effort is made to seat parties together, but it isn't guaranteed.
Can we bring a stroller or car seat?
Car seats are not allowed on the train. Strollers must fold away, or they stay on the platform for the whole ride.
Is there food on the train?
Every passenger is offered a chocolate chip cookie and chocolate milk as part of the show. If anyone in your group has allergies, you're welcome to bring your own allergy-safe food.
Will the kids get to meet Santa?
Yes. Once the train reaches the North Pole, Santa visits every passenger on the ride back to Anderson RTC. His elves give each child a silver jingle bell of their own.
