Jenkinson’s Amusement Park is giving its train a different job for the holiday season: serving as the setting for photos with Santa. The train will stay parked, so visitors coming for Photos with Santa on the Amusement Park Train should expect a photo opportunity, not a train ride.
The photos are planned inside the amusement park on November 27 and 28, 2026. Jenkinson’s describes its train as an antique-style ride that normally travels around the kiddie rides, but it will not operate during the Santa photos.
If the weather is inclement, the photos move to Jenkinson’s South Arcade. Santa will still be available there, but the train will not be part of the indoor setup.
