Where To See Santa

North Pole Flyer

Saturdays & Sundays November 27th – December 9th

Austin.

Welcome to the North Pole Flyer 2021! In this unique year, this special annual tradition is evolving for the health and safety of our passengers. Seating is VERY limited, and we will only run a limited number of trains! You can read the FAQ below to see the latest news and learn about the new format and activities. This ride is 2 hours and departs from our historic 1912 Bertram Depot in Bertram, TX. 

Visits with Santa. Santa Claus is on board every North Pole Flyer.  He walks through each car, greeting passengers young and old!  Every child has an opportunity to see Santa, and receive a special gift from Santa or his elf. Please note that unlike previous years, pictures in Santa’s lap will not be possible due to Covid-19. Santa will travel through each car to say hello and talk briefly with everyone, but visits will be socially distanced and brief. Sitting in a private compartment? Due to physical distancing rules, Santa and other entertainers will come to the door on your compartment, but will not be able to enter. Like in the lounge, they will stop at a careful distance to say hello, and then will move to the next compartment.

While under way a Story Teller Elf will come to your car to read the story of the North Pole Flyer. This gives all of our passengers a chance to sit with their family and friends and listen or read along together. Copies of the North Pole Flyer book are available for $10. These may be purchased when you purchase your tickets or at the Bertram Depot when you pick up your tickets. During some departures books may be available to purchase on board the train in the Cedar Park Concession Car.

Cookies will be passed out for all passengers. They will be individually wrapped for safety.

Mrs. Claus may be available for some rides, but not others. Sorry, we are not able to announce which rides those are ahead of time.

Coloring sheets and crayons will be provided.

Singing and caroling groups have been moved off of the train and onto the outdoor depot area for your safety.

Due to Covid-19 the balloon twisters are TBD. We will update this page as soon as we have more information!

Bring your letter to Santa and drop it in his mailbox before you leave.

Santa will be waiting in front of the 22′ tree next to Amy’s Ice Creams in a mask/face shield.

There may be a short wait. Adults and kids  should wear their masks and stay 6ft from others not in their household. Photography is not provided. Please bring your own camera or cell phone to take photos.
