Holiday Guide › VRE Santa Train
The VRE Santa Train — one of our area’s most popular seasonal opportunities — returns this December for family fun on the tracks on December 13, 2025!
Kids and families will enjoy a unique round-trip train ride with Santa, Mrs. Claus, and holiday helpers departing from VRE stations, including Burke Centre, Fredericksburg, Manassas, Spotsylvania, and Woodbridge.
These highly anticipated rides always sell out — so mark your calendars for ticket sale dates:
Dec 1, 2025
In-Person Tickets
In-person tickets will go on sale at five locations on December 1, 2025, from 10 am-12 pm (or until sold out).
Dec 2, 2025
Online Tickets
Online tickets will go on sale on December 2, 2025, at 10 am or until sold out.
Regardless of age, all passengers are required to have a ticket. Tickets must be purchased in advance; no tickets will be sold at the station on the day of the event.
More than the excitement of kids boarding and riding a real train for a round-trip adventure, Santa and his friends will greet children and their families. They’re eager to hear the wishes of excited kids and share their stash of candy canes, coloring books, and other treats. At this holiday event, you can always count on live entertainment, too!
