Holiday Night Train & Carousel at Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad

Ride the decorated Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad steam train at night past holiday lights, and take a spin on the vintage carousel. A cozy, budget-friendly holiday outing for little train fans. Dec 14–23 and Dec 26–27, 6–9 PM (closed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day). Tickets: train $10, carousel $6, combo $15; kids 2 and under ride free with a paid adult. Buy at the ticket booth on the night; no reservations, and regular daytime tickets aren't valid. The park gate closes at 8:45 PM. Good to know: no rides if it rains (call 408-395-7433). Only part of Vasona's Fantasy of Lights is visible from the train. The snack shack sells sweets and hot drinks, 6–8 PM. Parking in Oak Meadow lot (about $6 if an attendant is there); come via Blossom Hill Rd to skip the drive-through traffic on University Ave.
