2016 Polar Express Train Ride

Relive the magical journey of THE POLAR EXPRESS™ on an hour-long train ride to the North Pole.

Enjoy hot chocolate and yummy cookies as you ride along with many of the story’s characters such as the Train Conductor, the Dancing Waiters, and a ghostly Hobo. Once you reach the North Pole, the jolly old elf — Santa himself — will come on board to give each passenger a silver sleigh bell, the “first gift of Christmas”.
