Breathe in the nostalgic scent of coal and steam as your journey unfolds, with friendly Christmas elves interacting with passengers along the way, filling the carriage with festive fun, laughter and surprises.
Your 50-minute return steam train journey takes you to Capel Bangor and back before arriving at the Engine Shed Museum, where an enchanting one-hour immersive Christmas experience awaits.
Set amongst the impressive collection of historic steam locomotives, families will explore a series of magical interactive zones, each bringing the spirit of Christmas to life:
The Conductor’s Lobby – collect your Elf Passport and begin your festive mission.
The Toymakers Workshop – help Santa’s hardworking elves with hands-on Christmas activities.
Mrs Claus’ Living Room – enjoy a cosy festive setting filled with Christmas cheer and seasonal storytelling.
Santa’s Grotto – the magical final stop on your festive adventure.
Darganfyddwch hud y tymor Nadoligaidd gyda’r Tocyn i’r Nadolig ar Reilffordd Cwm Rheidol.
Camwch ar fwrdd ein ‘Trên Siôn Corn’ – un o’n trenau stêm hanesyddol wedi’u hadfer – a dechreuwch eich antur Nadoligaidd drwy galon cefn gwlad Cymru. Clywch arogl glo a stêm wrth i’ch taith barhâu, gyda chorachod cyfeillgar yn rhyngweithio â theithwyr ar hyd y ffordd, gan lenwi’r cerbyd â hwyl, chwerthin a syndodau Nadoligaidd.
Mae eich taith trên stêm 50 munud yn mynd â chi i Gapel Bangor ac yn ôl cyn cyrraedd Amgueddfa’r Sied Injan, lle mae profiad hudolus awr o hyd yn aros amdanoch.
Wedi’i leoli ymhlith casgliad trawiadol o locomotifau stêm hanesyddol, bydd teuluoedd yn archwilio cyfres o barthau rhyngweithiol hudolus, pob un yn dod ag ysbryd y Nadolig yn fyw:
Lobi’r Giard – casglwch eich Pasbort Corach a dechreuwch eich taith Nadoligaidd.
Gweithdy’r Adeiladwr Teganau – helpwch gorachod gweithgar Siôn Corn gyda gweithgareddau Nadolig ymarferol.
Ystafell Fyw Mrs Corn – mwynhewch leoliad Nadoligaidd clyd sy’n llawn hwyl ac adrodd straeon tymhorol.
Ogof Siôn Corn – yr arhosfan hudolus olaf ar eich antur Nadoligaidd.
As children complete activities throughout each zone, they’ll collect stamps in their Elf Passport, creating a keepsake of their festive adventure. Elf Passports and activity sheets are available in both Welsh and English, making the experience accessible for all young visitors.
There are plenty of magical moments along the way, including the chance for children to write their Christmas wish list and post it directly to Santa, ensuring their festive hopes are safely delivered to the North Pole.
The grand finale of your experience is a magical meeting with Santa Claus himself in his beautifully decorated grotto. Every child will receive a special Christmas gift from Santa, creating a treasured festive memory to take home. And because Christmas is for everyone, there’s even a little festive surprise for the grown-ups too!
With interactive characters, engaging activities, a nostalgic steam railway journey and unforgettable festive moments, Ticket to Christmas is a heartwarming Christmas experience designed to delight the whole family.

Wrth i blant gwblhau gweithgareddau ym mhob parth, byddant yn casglu stampiau yn eu Pasbort Corach, gan greu atgof o’u hantur Nadoligaidd. Mae Pasbortau Corach a thaflenni gweithgareddau ar gael yn y Gymraeg a’r Saesneg, gan wneud y profiad yn hygyrch i bob ymwelydd ifanc.
Mae digon o eiliadau hudolus ar hyd y ffordd, gan gynnwys y cyfle i blant ysgrifennu eu rhestr ddymuniadau Nadolig a’u postio’n uniongyrchol at Siôn Corn, gan sicrhau bod eu gobeithion yn cael eu danfon yn ddiogel i Begwn y Gogledd.
Diweddglo mawreddog eich profiad yw cyfarfod hudolus â **Siôn Corn ei hun** yn ei ogof hardd. Bydd pob plentyn yn derbyn anrheg Nadolig arbennig gan Siôn Corn, gan greu atgof Nadoligaidd gwerthfawr i’w gymryd adref. Ac oherwydd bod y Nadolig i bawb, **mae hyd yn oed syndod Nadoligaidd bach i’r oedolion hefyd!**
Gyda chymeriadau rhyngweithiol, gweithgareddau deniadol, taith trên stêm ac eiliadau Nadoligaidd bythgofiadwy, mae’r **Tocyn i’r Nadolig** yn brofiad Nadoligaidd cynnes wedi’i gynllunio i blesio’r teulu cyfan.
