Sugar Express's Santa Express

Step into a rolling holiday wonderland aboard the Santa Express, a joyful 2-hour roundtrip train ride with no particular destination — just the magic of the journey! Twinkling lights, festive decorations, and the sounds of classic carols set the stage as you settle into a historic passenger car aglow with holiday cheer. The aroma of cookies fills the train while Florida’s sugarcane countryside glides past your window.

Midway through the trip, Santa Claus himself climbs aboard, greeting every child with warm holiday wishes, cookies, and a commemorative gift to take home. Families will delight in this unforgettable ride, while First Class guests enjoy an elevated celebration with locally made sweets, rich hot chocolate, and desserts. After Santa’s visit, take a trip to the open-air car Miami Locks for a spirited glimpse at the passing scenery.
