Railway Christmas

Exporail presents the Magic of Christmas. Several vehicles in the Grand Gallery will be decorated to brighten your pleasure, Holiday family activities will be added… Santa is waiting for you! All Aboard!

Under the Christmas tree, there will be a model electric train which will help you into the Christmas spirit and entice you to visit our model train room where you will find two operating layouts. Children can then marvel while listening to the railway tale of Peter the Hogger presented at 1:30 p.m.
in one of our baggage cars redecorated with Christmas colours. Then along with their parents or grandparents, children can visit our Craft Workshop at 11:30 a.m., 2p.m. and 3 p.m.where they can create their own Christmas tree decoration.

A Christmas Cookie Decorating Workshop, from 10.30 a.m. to 11.30 a.m. and from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.,will enable children to be creative and custom decorate their own holiday treat!

Mail your letter to Santa from our mail car and visit with him on December 19th & 20th from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Christmas Stockings will be hidden everywhere in different vehicles, so be on the lookout for them.
Ride on the miniature railway: Don’t forget your mittens and your hat!

After a brief tour of the car brimming with anecdotes, visitors will be seated for tea at one of two tables (four or five persons) and have the privilege of indulging in delicious homemade pastries similar to those once served during the Holiday Season aboard CN dining cars at the turn of the century. What could be better than going back in time while savouring the present moment?
