 Elf on the Elgin @ CT Trolley Museum
Dec 8 @ 10:00 am – 3:00 pm

Santa at Driveway waving at passing cars. Car 303 on NRS Track 1.

All aboard the elegant Chicago, Aurora & Elgin Railroad #303, affectionately known as the “Roarin’ Elgin” or the “Great Third Rail”, for some old-fashioned holiday fun! Passengers will board the historic car and enjoy a festive journey filled with hot chocolate in a souvenir cup, a cookie, and a candy cane – all served with holiday cheer by two friendly elves. As the train turns around, kids will have the chance to write letters to Santa, which will be collected on the Westbound trip and delivered straight to Santa’s mailbox in the Visitor Center. After the ride, families are welcome to explore the Visitor Center as we prepare for the next magical adventure.


   Elf on the Elgin is held rain or shine.
