The Camp 6 Logging Museum at Point Defiance Park hosts one of the best holiday deals going - a $1 train ride with Santa. (Riders under 3 and over 99 are free).
This is WAY better than any Santa encounter at the mall - Santa joins the train en route and comes around to visit everyone on the train individually. No pressure to sit on laps, and last year Santa had fun flirting with some of the female passengers as well as visiting with the kids, so it really is fun for all ages!
Dress warmly, as the train is covered but open to the elements, and be sure to bring your flash if it’s all about the photo op - it’s dark in those woods!
The Santa Train runs the last 3 weekends in December - 8-9, 15-16, & 22-23, from 9:45 to 4. Departures are approximatley every 30 minutes (the duration of the train ride). There’s a nice warm-up cabin where you can purchase hot chocolate and goodies while waiting or to warm up after your ride.
The Santa Train and Camp 6 Logging Museum are run by the Tacoma Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society, a cheerful and enthusiastic staff of volunteers who made this a really memorable holiday event for all our extended family last year. We loved it, and intend to make it our family tradition.
