TrainTastic is transforming into a locomotive winter wonderland filled with festive activities for the whole family this holiday season! Experience our Holiday Lights outdoor exhibit twinkle with over 2 MILLION lights on an outdoor train ride – it’s snow joke – this is the brightest, merriest train ride on the Gulf Coast!
And what’s a holiday adventure without some crafts and treats? Whether riding through the snow outside, touring the museum or creating a festive craft, there will be hot chocolate, cookies and more to keep the “Train Fun” on track! There might even be special appearances from the big man himself – Santa Claus!
For those who travel to visit TrainTastic, you’ll have a great excuse to stay the night on the Coast. Some guests spend 2-4 hours at the museum, and even then, there’s always more to see! Plus, TrainTastic is extending its hours for the Holiday Lights event, so you’ll have even MORE time to marvel at the twinkling lights and decorated displays. Ticket sales link coming soon!
