The Charleston Santa

Beginning Friday, November 29, The Best Friend Train Museum, conveniently situated between the downtown visitor center and the Children’s Museum, will host The Charleston Santa. Each weekend between Thanksgiving and Christmas, children are invited to visit with the jolly old elf himself. Families will receive a free photo to commemorate the occasion.

There is no charge for the event, though reservations are required since space is limited.

The Charleston Santa not only welcomes families seeking a magical Santa experience, it also creates an educational opportunity for visitors to learn more about the Best Friend of Charleston train and aims to make a meaningful impact by supporting Toys for Tots. Attendees are encouraged to contribute to the joy by helping Explore Charleston and the Children’s Museum reach their goal to “fill the train” with new, unwrapped toys.
