All Aboard for Irvine Park Railroad’s 20th Annual 2015 Christmas Train

Joy and I were blessed to visit Irvine Park Railroad’s Pumpkin patch this year, and I thought is was amazing.  I loved the pumpkin patch so much; I took her back on Halloween. While at the park I heard an announcement about Irvine Park Railroad’s Christmas Train and my heart leaped with joy. That night I received a special email inviting my family and I back to the park for their 20th Annual  2015 Christmas Train.

It’s the season, once again for Irvine Park Railroad’s annual Christmas Train. Come with family and friends and take this enchanting night ride through historic Irvine Regional Park to meet Santa Claus. The train will depart every 15 minutes from the brightly-lit train station and drop passengers off at the North Pole.
