North Pole Flyer

December 10, 2023

The classic North Pole Flyer is back! Departing from our historic 1912 Bertram Depot, the 2023 trip brings back some of your favorite activities and entertainers!  Our special 2-hour excursion on a real train features a visit (and hugs!) from Santa and Mrs. Claus, all-you-can-drink hot cocoa, and a locally baked holiday cookie. Each car is decorated for the season where passengers enjoy a live reading of the North Pole Flyer book-our railroad’s own Christmas Story! Our professional Santa will spend time in each car to “check your list twice” and pose for photographs before handing out a gift to each child to remember this special ride. Come be a part of the magic!

📸 Say cheese! We had the absolute best time getting the bros’ portraits taken with @timeless.tots @kacietennetphotography 📷

@kacietennetphotography is an amazing photographer who is incredible at capturing kids’ true personalities and making them shine on camera!
I really love how she encourages such a fun and lighthearted atmosphere. My youngest had a ball trying to make his brothers laugh the whole time.

Her portraits are like nothing else out there! They are just so classic and clean while feeling true and authentic at the same time. I can’t recommend her enough!!

Check out @timeless.tots and @kacietennetphotography to book your session. She can do newborn sessions all the way to big kids and families! Now is the time to book your fall photos for those holiday cards! She even has fall mini sessions available now!

🍖 @oakwoodbbq is Austin’s best kept secret!

📍 307 E Braker Ln, Austin

🤩 Best hidden gem in Austin! @oakwoodbbq has the best food and shady beer garden patio that’s perfect for families! Bring the kids, let them run around and play!

🥪The Gobbler was the best turkey I’ve ever had in my life. 🤤 My teenagers loved the nachos. Everything was so delicious! Don’t forget to add the homemade pickles and pickled onions to each bite. 🤌

My kids loved playing darts, cornhole, Connect Four, chalk, and running around with the other kids.

The large beer garden can accommodate big groups perfectly too!
