There’s a holiday-themed train ride in Ontario that leads to a special Santa experience

All aboard the holiday train! Elgin County’s longest-running tourist attraction is the Port Stanley Terminal Rail, and it will soon be hosting Santa Treats Train Rides. Here’s what to know.

According to Destination Ontario, Port Stanley Terminal Rail has been operating for over 40 years.

It is a “heritage, diesel-powered locomotive” that travels along the former London to Port Stanley track through the scenic Kettle Creek Valley between Port Stanley and St. Thomas.

The heritage train has different events throughout the year, and starting on November 23rd, you can hop on board for its holiday special.

Holiday rides

“Enjoy a ride through Elgin County in early winter from the warmth of a heated car,” states the Port Stanley Terminal Rail.

“Santa has treats for the kids! Watch your children’s anticipation grow as we near our destination to meet Santa. Live entertainment may appear on some trains.”

The train ride experience is only available on select dates this November and December.

If you’re in the holiday mood and can’t wait to celebrate the festive season, get your tickets online asap.

Plan a trip over to the lakeside village of Port Stanley, get ready to hop on board, and to meet Santa!
