Train Rides

You have the choice of two unique trains to take you on a journey around the historic Santa Margarita Ranch. Each ride will take about 30 minutes as you travel through holiday decor with life-size displays and lights, reminiscent of childhood dreams. Passengers will debark at Santa’s Barn where the “Big Man” himself and fun activities will be spreading holiday cheer.

Train Option 1:
Historic Steam Train with Open-air Train Cars
A real steam engine will pull a series of “open cars” on this open-air railroad experience. This new train on the Ranch will offer open side and open top seats, so bundle-up and enjoy an outdoor ride through the Ranch. Caboose seating may be possible.

Train Option 2:
Historic Steam Train with Rides Inside the Original Disneyland Coaches
This real steam engine has recently been refreshed and will be towing three of the original train cars that Walt Disney built and ran around the Disneyland Park when it first opened in 1955. Guests will ride inside these original cars as they travel the Ranch. While it is enclosed, please dress warmly as we will be riding with the windows down.

NEW!! Train Cab Rides:
Have you ever wanted to ride in the cab of a steam locomotive? Here’s your chance! Paid cab rides will be offered giving you a behind-the-scenes experience and opportunity to get a close up look at a working steam locomotive.  Closed toe shoes and long pants required. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
Very limited tickets available for this opportunity, $100/person for cab rides.

Cost: $40/adult, $25/child (2 & under free)
