All aboard the Panto Express to meet Father Christmas himself, see the great Goldilocks and Three Bears and enjoy a fun trip of entertainment.
See Santa Claus in a “Grotto with a Difference” – on a vintage steam train! Why wait in line for hours when you can sit back and relax on a steam train while Santa comes to you? Travel along a 1/3-mile track while waiting for Father Christmas as he makes his way along the train to see all of the children. And as he comes, one of his helper elves will pull out presents for the youngsters from his giant toy sack!
The train travel should take 25 minutes this year. There are lots of bathrooms near the station where you may use them before your train ride, but none aboard the trains.
Make your way to the Pantomime seats at the far end of the Visitor Center as soon as your train arrives at Platform 4 and settle in for the show! Our large Visitor Center, which is decked with a massive Christmas tree, as well as decorations, music, and a gift store, will help you get into the Christmas mood.
