The Reindeer Ride Express, the holiday train experience chugging into Forest Park this November, will feature community partnerships to drive tourism traffic to the historic square.
Nickel Plate Express is teaming up with Noblesville Main Street and Premier Trolley Company to offer discounts and entertainment to Reindeer Ride passengers. Premier Trolley Company will offer service from Forest Park to Federal Hill Commons and downtown Noblesville on Dec. 14 and 21. The trolley will run from 4 to 9 p.m. and tickets will cost $5 roundtrip for those three and older. Nickel Plate Express passengers will have the opportunity to extend their Hamilton County visit by taking the trolley to Federal Hill Commons to ice skate or downtown to dine and shop.
“We’re thrilled the Noblesville community is welcoming our holiday passengers by participating in these community programs,” said Nickel Plate Express Director Dagny Zupin. “Nickel Plate Express is working closely with the Noblesville Parks & Recreation Department to create a welcoming and festive environment for Reindeer Ride guests.”
Select Noblesville Main Street businesses will offer discounts to customers who show their Nickel Plate Express tickets in-store. A few of the Noblesville businesses participating include Caravan Classes, Matteo’s, Rosie’s and Noble Coffee & Tea. A full list of deals and discounts can be found at NickelPlateExpress.com/reindeer.
“Gaining this major attraction this holiday season in Noblesville has huge potential for the downtown businesses,” said Noblesville Main Street Executive Director Lorna Steele. “We are all super excited to have the Reindeer Express and everyone is offering really great promotions for train passengers. We are all ready to welcome all the passengers with open arms to Downtown Noblesville!”
The Reindeer Ride Express will run from Nov. 23 to Dec. 22, departing from Forest Park. Sponsors for the holiday event include Noblesville-based businesses Duke Energy and Gaylor Electric. Tickets for Reindeer Ride can be purchased at NickelPlateExpress.com/reindeer.
