The Town of Huntsville, Muskoka Heritage Place, and Santa Claus would like to invite everyone to the Portage Flyer Christmas event scheduled to take place on the evening of Saturday, December 17th, 2022.
The Portage Flyer Christmas is a ‘super-magicated’ event that has become a holiday tradition in Huntsville since 2004. Enjoy the festive evening outdoors and ride the open-air Portage Flyer train, decked out in over a thousand holiday lights, along the Muskoka River to the Fairy Lake Station where Santa is waiting to greet kids of all-ages and hear their holiday wishes.
The combination of a starry winter night, a train, twinkling lights, Christmas cheer and finding out if Santa thinks you’re naughty or nice, is a magical experience for all-ages.
Tickets are $5 per person (Santa pays the tax) and are purchased upon arrival. There is no reserve seating or advanced ticket sales. Enjoy complimentary hot chocolate and Christmas cookies – while supplies last – and enjoy Christmas carols in the Rotary Village Station prior to boarding the train or after your trip. Everyone is welcome!
Date & Time: Saturday, December 17, 2022, from 5 until 8 pm (last train leaves at 7:30 pm). Train trips take roughly 20 minutes.
Admission: $5 per person (child or adult) and Santa pays the tax! Sorry, there are no advance ticket sales or reserve seating. We accept cash, debit, Visa, and MasterCard only as payment.
Location: Muskoka Heritage Place, Rotary Village Train Station, 100 Forbes Hill Drive, Huntsville (beside the Active Living Centre).
