Santa’s Station Grand Opening

Saturday, December 6, 2025

Visit Santa inside his train depot, with holiday music and activities in nearby Uptown Station. Presented by the Town of Normal.

Santa’s Station is located in the heart of Uptown Normal, in the Trail East lot next to the mural in Normal, IL. Families will line up in Uptown Station to wait for their special visit with Santa all the while listening to nostalgic holiday music, with the kiddos having the opportunity to participate in or create an activity/craft (while supplies last) to ensure all are in the holiday spirit! On busy days, the line may be cut off up to 30 minutes prior to closing.

A visit to Santa’s Station is free, but donations are encouraged. Proceeds to benefit the Children’s Discovery Museum!

Parents are encouraged to bring their own cameras and take as many photos as they like.
