McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park Holiday Lights Opening Weekend

About this adventure

Opening on Black Friday evening, Holiday Lights at the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park is Scottsdale's most beloved holiday outing for toddlers, young kids, and train enthusiasts. Families board the historic Paradise & Pacific Railroad for a magical open-air train ride winding through millions of twinkling lights, festive animatronic scenes, and glowing holiday tunnels. After riding the rails, children can spin on the park's historic 1950 Allan Herschell vintage carousel, explore the sprawling model railroad exhibits in the 10,000-square-foot clubhouse, and grab sweet churros and hot chocolate from the concessions. The park is closed on Thanksgiving Day, but opens full steam ahead for Thanksgiving weekend with timed-entry tickets preventing long queues.
