Santa at the Station! 🎅

All aboard! This holiday season, Santa is making a special stop at the Pere Marquette Caboose in Downtown Holland! Step up to the caboose to meet Santa before he heads back to the North Pole to prepare for Christmas. A museum staff member will be on hand to help you capture a family photo on your phone with Santa as a festive keepsake. 

After your photo is taken, hop inside the Padnos Transportation Center to warm up with a cozy cup of cocoa! The cost for this event is $10 per family, and pre-registration is required. Handicap parking is available at the Padnos Transportation Center. All other guests should plan to park at the 7th Street Parking Ramp.
