Warm your heart and soul as you meet jolly Christmas characters, eat delicious cookies and drink heavenly hot chocolate. Last but not least, Mr. and Mrs. Claus await families at the North Pole Station for festive photoshoots.

The North Pole Express trains run on the Railway Museum of BC property and travels along the Canadian National Railway (CN) tracks for part of their route.

Departing from the Museum, trains will head north on CN tracks near the Squamish River and then south through Squamish toward the shipping port. Every train leaves from and returns to the Squamish Station at the Railway Museum of BC.

Get your tickets early, as the event is very popular and sells out quickly each year!
