Big Holiday Guide › Santa Railway Express
Annually, Whistle Stop Hobbies hosts a unique seasonal opportunity — the Santa Railway Express! At this popular holiday event, Mr. & Mrs. Claus will board a Virginia Railway Express train to greet children with a special holiday treat before an exciting round-trip ride!
Like this? Check out even more opportunities to ride the rails with Santa here!
The train will depart from Alexandria’s King Street Station and choo-choo along the tracks to Old Town Manassas. Once there, enjoy hot chocolate, cookies, and a storytime. Even more exciting for little ones, Santa will host a Q&A before the train returns to Alexandria.
