About this adventure
Based on traditional Christkindlmarkts of Germany, Austria, and Alsace, this authentic outdoor European market transforms the East Lot of Saint Paul's historic Union Depot into an enchanting holiday village. Over 70 wooden vendor chalets offer handcrafted European ornaments, wooden nutcrackers, warm sheepskin woolens, and authentic seasonal delicacies like fresh strudel, potato pancakes, and bratwurst. Children can visit Santa's workshop, listen to accordionists and brass bands on the village stage, and watch traditional folk dancing. Inside the magnificent heated 1920s Waiting Room of Union Depot, families will find clean restrooms, nursing lounges, and festive model train displays.
