Description
Put on your favorite pair of pajamas and hop aboard the Polar Express for a magical journey to the North Pole!
Join us for this family reenactment of the award-winning book, “The Polar Express”, written by Chris Van Allsburg. Your adventure begins on board our decorated train as Storytellers read the story aloud. As the train heads north toward the North Pole, festive elves will entertain you with songs, games and activities. Delicious hot chocolate and chocolate chip cookies specially made by Mrs. Claus just for you are served on board.
When the train arrives at the North Pole you will see Santa and his workshop out your train window. (Passengers do not get off the train.) The train stops long enough to pick up Santa, who will visit with children on the way back and gift them all with a special jingle bell taken from the reindeer’s harness. If you can hear the bell ring…you truly believe!
Departure Times for the ride are:
Fridays at 6:00 and 8:00 p.m.
Saturdays and Sundays at 2:00, 4:00, 6:00 and 8:00 p.m.
Keep in mind that boarding will begin one half hour prior to departure and finish boarding 5 minutes prior to departure time. Folks arriving exactly at departure time will miss the train! If you need to pick up tickets at will call, it is crucial to arrive 45 minutes early!
