Alert! You’re going to want to subscribe to Triangle on the Cheap!
The hugely popular attraction, Holiday Express, transforms Pullen Park into a holiday wonderland from December 1 to December 17, 2026. Guests go on a train ride, enjoy unlimited rides on the carousel, play at the Arctic Avenue, go on the Enchanted Elevator, enjoy s’mores, visit Santa’s Toy Shop, and so 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. If you see people selling them, 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 a number of tickets, and we are giving them all away to lucky readers.
The giveaways have not started yet! But to be the first to hear when they do, and to be eligible to win, you must be a subscriber to Triangle on the Cheap’s daily newsletter! Subscribe now and keep an eye on the newsletter that will be delivered to your inbox! We’ll be starting the contests in the next week or two! You’ll have several chances to win!
Our newsletters include tons of free and cheap things to do, some contests like these, and shopping deals.
Double-Check Before You Head Out!
We make every effort to make sure that everything on Triangle on the Cheap is 100% accurate.
However, sometimes things change without notice, and it’s also possible that we can make a mistake.
