“THE BELL STILL RINGS FOR ALL WHO TRULY BELIEVE”
🚂
Adventure comes to life when the train departs for a round-trip journey to the North Pole led by our merry-making cast!
🚂
Set to the sounds of the motion picture soundtrack, passengers will relive the magic of the classic story as they are whisked away on THE POLAR EXPRESS™ for a 1 to 1 ½ hour trip to meet Santa.
🚂
Onboard, the conductor will punch golden tickets for each child. Dancing chefs and waiters will perform while Christmas carols play, and you’ll enjoy listening to a reading of the classic children’s book, The Polar Express, by Chris Van Allsburg.
🚂
Santa and his elves board the train at the North Pole to greet passengers and each guest is given the first gift of Christmas. Please be sure to have your camera ready to capture this moment! During the trip, characters on each car lead fantastic onboard entertainment – just like in the film! Each child will take home a keepsake sleigh bell and souvenir golden ticket in addition to the wonderful memories made on this magical trip. Delicious hot chocolate and freshly baked cookies, which are individually wrapped in sealed packages, are provided for each passenger.
🚂
We recommend wearing your Christmas jammies for even more fun!.
🚂
Make memories you’ll treasure, as you share magical moments together this holiday season with a trip on THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride!
