UPDATE: The contest has ended and the winner is Emily DeAngelo. I’ve emailed you!

The hugely popular attraction, Holiday Express, transforms Pullen Park into a holiday wonderland from December 2 to December 18, 2024. Guests go on a train ride, enjoy unlimited rides on the carousel, play at the Arctic Avenue, take photos in the Rotary Snow Globe and much more.

The only problem? Tickets sold out almost immediately when they went on sale in October. If you weren’t one of the lucky few who snagged tickets you’re out of luck. Online resale of tickets is prohibited by the Secretary of State of the State of North Carolina. If you see people selling them anyway, be very careful, because there are a lot of scammers.

But we’re to help! As a sponsor of Holiday Express, Triangle on the Cheap has 7 tickets, and we are giving them all away to one lucky reader. Please note that children 12 months and younger do not require a ticket.

Thank you so much for compiling the events that happen every day there are so many that I would have never known about, and there are A LOT! If I may mention, the Christmas by Candlelight Tour at Duke Homestead is almost sold out also (Friday Dec 6 and 13). Thank you so much!!!

    My grandkids who are 2.5 year old twins would love to go to this event. Pullen Park is one of their favorite places to go and play. Seven tickets would be great because then both sets of grandparents could also go and enjoy that special time with them. It would also be a great memory for all of us and the holidays are for making memories.

  292. Charlotte Ramirez says

    I would love to be the lucky winner! I have a daughter, a niece, a nephew, and my daughter’s best friend who I know would all love this experience! Keep up the good work with the newsletters and the website.

  293. Qi Qi says

    My daughter is 2 years old, and this year she knows much better about Santa and Christmas. I was not lucky enough to get the tickets when they started selling online while I was in the doctor’s office for my second baby ultrasound.

    We all love the website, and it’s the first thing I do every morning when I wake up, especially in October since my daughter starts to understand Halloween. Compared to going to the events that need to be paid for, I prefer to take her to the free events because we usually get more surprises without expectations! Thank you all for the hard work in compiling all this useful, wonderful information together, it saves me to tons of time to go through Facebook, Ins and other websites looking for the events.

    I left a comment last week about the Diwali event at Brier Creek, it did not match with the Facebook post(somehow it’s 12 Nov on Facebook). But it still happened on time, on 02 Nov. We went there to participate and my daughter got her first face painting in her life for free! Thank you!

  294. Talesha Harris says

    I would love to take my daughter on the holiday train! I waited online to try to get tickets in the queue and wasn’t able to get through.

  295. Vicki G says

    Pullen Park is a great place to visit throughout the year, but at Christmas time I imagine it’s magical for young and old.

  298. Carolyn N says

    My granddaughters would love to participate in the Christmas celebration at Pullen Park. Wish there was a lottery tickets for the tickets.

  300. Allie says

  301. Charlene Brickhouse says

    I am a dance teacher.
    I was lucky enough to get in at the very beginning of you guys doing this, and my students were able to perform for the first 4 or 5 years. I would love to take my family to see how it’s grown. I have tried recently to get tickets , but I know it’s nearly impossible. here’s to cross fingers 🤞🤞🤞

  632. Nicole Williams says

    As a person who has to find activities on a budget, I enjoy the daily emails on cheap to free events to attend throughout the region.

    Because of Triangle On The Cheap, I have gone to free ballets, free family movies over the summer and found many ways to connect and have fun with residents all over Wake and Durham counties!

    Triangle on the Cheap has made connecting more fun and less of a challenge, and it has made life, overall, more fulfilling.

    I, myself, have never had this experience at Pullen Park, but if I win the tickets, I plan to share the tickets with six friends of all ages, who wouldn’t have been able to go otherwise, giving them a Chrismas experience to remember.
    I am grateful for this opportunity to have the chance to go, and whomever you choose I am grateful for, as they will bring joy to each of us.

    Thanks for caring about the community, Triangle On The Cheap! Our families’ lives have been made more buoyant because of you!

    Very, Merry Christmas, Everyone!
