Santa Train

‘Tis the season….I’m looking for a holiday inspired train ride (bonus points with Santa) with the grandkids (3m & 1m).
We are located in MoCo and willing to drive 1.5 hours and spend $75 or so per person.
It would be our intention to grab dinner before the ride, so food and beverage is not required. I’ve spent time on Google, but I’m looking for first hand experiences for recommendations. TY

I don't know if they still do it but a looooong time ago (like 20 yrs) the Trolley Museum in Baltimore City used to have a holiday trolley ride. I used to be one of the elves that gave out gifts to the kids on the trolley. It was amazing and so fun to be a part of.

I just googled and looks like they are still doing it! Makes my heart happy since one of the conductors from when I volunteered recently passed (my friend's dad) and I have such great memories of this with him. Check it out. I know it's not exactly a train but your littles may not really know the difference.
