🚂🎅 Santa Express

All aboard! Take a magical train ride to Union Station — “The North Pole” — with Santa himself!

Riders will meet at the Freedom Activity Center for hot chocolate ☕ and cookies 🍪 before walking to the Metra Station to board the train. On this enchanting journey, Santa will visit riders and hand out activity bags.

Once at the “North Pole,” gather at the giant tree for a photo with Santa 📸. After your photo, enjoy lunch on your own while exploring Chicago and Union Station.
