The B&O kicks off the holiday season with an evening packed with family-friendly festivities! Join us as we light the beautiful 35-foot Christmas tree, tour through Santa’s winter village shops and model train layouts, enjoy a visit from Santa and share cookies with spiced cider or spiked cider for the grown-ups.
The holiday season is officially here when Santa comes to town, and we hope you’ll join us in greeting him when he arrives back in Baltimore aboard the B&O No. 6944! Santa’s locomotive will pull into the B&O Railroad Museum’s spacious Roundhouse, creating the perfect opportunity to take the first festive photos of the season.
Each evening, tour through Santa’s Winter Village shops, model train layouts, enjoy a visit from Santa and share cookies with spiced cider or spiked cider for the grown-ups. The train ride includes child-size light-up reindeer antlers to wear on the Reindeer Railway to help light the way for Santa!
Join us and Santa for a delicious served breakfast inside the spacious Roundhouse, transformed into a holiday wonderland featuring the B&O’s signature 35-foot Christmas tree, model train layouts, and Santa’s winter village. Santa will join you and your family during breakfast and be available for socially distant photo sessions. Families will ride the Reindeer Railway train and children will be given reindeer antlers for the trip.
