Description
"On Friday, November 27th, the B&O Railroad Museum and Northeast Maglev are excited to welcome Santa’s official arrival into Baltimore by train!
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! Maybe one year Santa will arrive on a high-speed Maglev train! Santa’s locomotive will pull into the B&O Railroad Museum’s spacious Roundhouse, creating the perfect opportunity to take the first safe, socially distanced festive photos of the season. “We can’t have Christmas without Santa” said Kris Hoellen, Executive Director of the B&O Railroad Museum. “We are fortunate to have a large naturally ventilated beautiful space for children to take pictures with Santa so parents won’t miss a year!”
Once Santa enters the B&O to celebrate the Holiday Festival of Trains with you, additional seated photos will be available for purchase. Santa and his helpers will be wearing masks and the photo area is expanded to incorporate safe physical distancing. All activities and events are designed for a safe and fun visit so families can focus on the joy of the season.
Tickets include full access to the B&O Holiday Festival of Trains offering a holiday wonderland of lights, Santa’s Winter Village shops and spectacular model train layouts to explore. Visit www.BORail.org for tickets or more information.
The B&O Holiday Festival of Trains featuring the Reindeer Railway will be open Monday-Saturday, 10 AM – 4 PM, and Sunday,11 AM – 4 PM. The Museum is closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day."
