The all-new Holidays at Union Station opens Nov. 18 for fun indoor and outdoor activities for all ages. The transformed magical and castle-like St. Louis Union Station will stand in for the North Pole throughout the holiday season. Activities include the Glacier Park outdoor ice skating rink, complete with an ice slide where guests can whoosh down in a snow tube, storytimes with Mr. Claus, holiday treats like hot chocolate, fudge and gingerbread cookies, Santa's House and Toy Factory, with a mini-aquarium, model trains, toymaking elves and Santa's Weather Station. Kids can also write letters to Santa.
Don't miss the outdoor train shed with the Water & Fire Show (and award-winning 3D light and fountain show), and the Santa Express Train offering rides with Santa Claus and his elves to the North Pole! You can also make it a family weekend of fun with a sleepover package at the Union Station Hotel.
All North Pole Village activities will be open from 3 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Wednesdays through Fridays and from noon to 9:30 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Holidays hours begin Dec. 18 with attractions open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Attractions will be closed on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
