rides with Santa and Mrs. Claus to a North Pole winter wonderland at Millennium Station.
Tickets for the Holiday Trains, which must be purchased in advance, cost $5 and will be available starting Monday, Nov. 21 until they sell out. The tickets will be sold at select Metra Electric stations, in person only. The tickets will not be available for purchase on trains, on the Ventra app or from vending machines.
"This is our way to bring a little bit of holiday joy to My Metra riders," said Metra CEO/Executive Director Jim Derwinski. "Our trains are already safe, reliable, and comfortable, but they can be fun, too. We encourage everyone to climb on board and make Metra part of their holiday tradition." The decorated train will depart from University Park at 11 a.m on Dec. 3, 10 and 17 and make several stops to pick up riders on its way to the festive "North Pole" at Millennium Station. The train ride will feature visits from Santa, Mrs. Claus or elves, as well as goody bag handouts and other fun. Kids can also visit Santa at Millennium Station, where there will be holiday music, face painting and other fun activities.
For the ride back home, the outbound Holiday Train will depart at 2:15 p.m., but for those wanting to spend more time enjoying the holiday sights and activities downtown, the Holiday Train tickets are valid for any outbound Metra Electric train on the date of the ticket.
