All Aboard!

Your train ride to Santa’s Village is coming soon and we are so excited to have you join us for our 2nd Annual Christmas at the Santa Margarita Ranch.

Important to know before you go:

  1. You MUST have a train ticket to get entry into Santa’s village.

  2. Only advance-purchased ticket holders will be allowed onsite. Please buy soon as many trains are already sold-out.

  3. You will need to be at the ranch at least 20 minutes prior to your booked departure time. 

  4. Gates open at 3:00pm to allow for the 3:45pm ticket holders time to park and prepare for their train ride.  Please do not come any earlier.

  5. All ticket holders must check-in at the ticket booth to receive your onsite tickets for access to your train and cookie.

  6. Don’t miss your train.  We will be working hard to keep our train trips on schedule, so please do not miss your train as many trains are sold-out and we may not have any space on a later train.

  7. There will be food and beverages, including adult beverages, available for purchase onsite.  No outside food or beverages allowed.

  8. No food or drinks will be allowed on the trains.

  9. No pets allowed (other than service dogs).

  10. Watch your children, we are a working ranch with the potential for encountering operational agriculture equipment and wild animals.

  11. Remain in designated areas only as there is limited lighting and other potential hazards outside of those areas.

  12. Please drive slowly and only on designated roads. 

We look forward to seeing you!
