We rode the Santa Express on Dallas Birthday. It was really fun and an activity we wanted to do as a family during the holiday season. We drove to the Boone Scenic Valley Railway and boarded the train. The train goes out several miles then starts to slow and you start to notice Christmas lights in the forest. Then you see 9 reindeer and a sign for the North Pole. Finally the train stops and Santa climbs aboard. Santa comes by to hand out jingle bells (think Polar Express) and gives hugs. All along the 1.5 hour ride we are singing carols, drinking hot cocoa (my kids favorite part), eating Christmas cookies, telling funny Christmas jokes, and telling the emcee what you want for Christmas. Each car had a BSVR volunteer and they kept everything fun.
