I love it when we can save some extra money on activities that are fun for the whole family! Here are all the details of what you can expect at this event:

At the special holiday event, youngsters can drop their holiday wish lists in the museum railway’s post-office car, in exchange for a special RailCard keepsake; each list is later hand stamped and delivered to Santa. Between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. each day, kids can also share their wishes with Santa and Mrs. Claus directly at the Depot General Store, where they can congregate to sip hot chocolate and browse railroad toys. Meanwhile, the museum’s steam locomotive departs every half hour between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., with its historic passenger cars decked out in holiday accoutrements.

The event runs December 8, 15, 16, and 22 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with Santa and Mrs. Claus present between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. on those days. Children aged 2 and younger enter for free.

There are 2 days left on this Groupon special offer, but close to 300 have already sold, and most times local events have a limited number of Groupons available, so if this is something that interests you I wouldn’t wait to snag one.
