ROUNDABOUT CLARKDALE

This holiday season take flight on a magical journey to the North Pole

aboard the Verde Canyon Railroad. This one-hour Christmas Train Ride

makes a perfect trip for adults, children and tots.

Prior to boarding the train families can tour a miniature village on a town square. Letters to

Santa can be dropped in a mail bag which are then delivered to the north pole. Santa’s

workshop is at the end of the train ride. Santa himself joins the train for the journey back to

Clarkdale.

The Christmas Train Departs every Saturday and Sunday from December 1st through 23rd at

5:30 and 7:00 p.m. Book your ride on the Christmas Train through the Verde Canyon

Railroad website at www.verdecanyonrr.com or call 1-800-582-7245.
