The centerpiece of the celebration is the historic narrow-gauge steam train ride, which carries families through 250 acres of picturesque cranberry bogs wrapped in more than 17 miles of dazzling light displays and illuminated holiday scenes. General admission includes unlimited rides on classic family amusement attractions such as the historic 19th-century carousel, Ferris wheel, and spinning coaster, alongside outdoor ice skating (with complimentary skate rentals), horse-drawn carriage rides, and visits with Santa Claus in the Merry Marketplace. For a special holiday upgrade, kids can wear their holiday pajamas on the Pajama Express train, featuring conductor storytelling, hot cocoa in souvenir mugs, and chocolate treats. Free parking and wide paved grounds make visits convenient for families. ## Similar picks in Boston - [Edaville's Winter Wonderland Train & Lights Festival](https://grassyknees.com/boston/activities/edaville-s-winter-wonderland-train-and-lights-festival--listing-38896c83c807cd1a40e64ac5) — Fri, Nov 27 (+13 more dates) · 4:00 PM – 9:00 PM · Edaville, Carver · All ages · From $36 · checked Oct 16.
