Planes, Trains, and Santa! at Military Aviation Museum (Virginia Beach)
November 24, 2023 @ 9:00 am - November 26, 2023 @ 5:00 pm
$17
Join us for a festive Thanksgiving weekend at the Military Aviation Museum for our annual “Planes, Trains, and Santa” family event! Friday, Saturday & Sunday from 9am-5pm. Purchase Tickets Here!
Each day at 10:00 a.m., weather permitting, Santa arrives at the museum in a vintage airplane (as the reindeer need their rest for the big night!). Don’t miss the opportunity to capture a memorable photo with Santa, admire numerous vintage airplanes, and be astounded by the hangar loaded with trains.
Train experiences are provided by the Tidewater Division of the National Model Railroad Association, and are perfect for kids and adults alike. Kids Run Trains will be on hand to give everyone a chance to try their hand a model railroading!
In the spirit of giving, Santa and the Marine Corps Reserves will be collecting donations for Toys for Tots, spreading holiday cheer to those in need. Santa himself expressed his excitement about his visit: “I’m thrilled to reunite with all the children and families at the museum again this year. My Elves and I have been hard at work crafting a new, even more magical sleigh, and I can’t wait to fill it with holiday joy for all the children I meet at Planes, Trains, and Santa!”
