All Aboard the North Pole Express

Stay at August Jack Motor Inn and make your Christmas adventure unforgettable

The holiday season in Squamish is officially here, and one of the most beloved family traditions is back again — the North Pole Express at the Railway Museum of BC. Each year, this magical Christmas journey sells out quickly, attracting families from across the province. If you’re planning to visit, book your train tickets early and reserve your stay with us at August Jack Motor Inn, located just minutes away from the museum.


🚂 A Magical Christmas Train Journey

Board the festive North Pole Express and enjoy a heartwarming holiday adventure from Candyland Station all the way to the North Pole. The experience is designed for children—and the young at heart—with cozy pajamas encouraged for passengers of all ages.

Along the journey, guests will:

  • Enjoy Christmas cookies & hot chocolate
  • Sing along to festive carols
  • Join fun activity stations for kids
  • Help deliver wrapping paper and bows to Marshall P. Bear, head of Santa’s workshop

At the end of the ride, families will arrive at the North Pole to meet Mr. and Mrs. Claus for a keepsake holiday photo.
