Lansdale Parks & Recreation kicks off the holidays downtown at Railroad Plaza, right beside the train station on Main Street.
The borough promises twinkling lights, festive fun and a hometown crowd for the moment the tree comes on, an easy first outing of the season for families.
Parent tip: Take the SEPTA Lansdale/Doylestown Line and you step off the train almost on top of the plaza, which skips the downtown parking hunt.

Santa keeps a little house on Railroad Plaza in downtown Lansdale and opens it for three visits this season, weather permitting.
Kids can tell him their wish lists and pose for photos, so bring a phone or camera since families take their own pictures.
Parent tip: The December 19 morning visit is the easiest fit for nap schedules, and the December 18 evening slot pairs well with dinner on Main Street.

A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.
A bedtime story after seeing SantaRally Takes the Train is a five-minute rhyming picture book about a corgi’s first ride on a California train, hand-painted in watercolor. $16.99 on Amazon, ages 0 to 8.
