All aboard for a magical holiday experience! Children ages 4-11 will be taken on a journey through the beloved story of The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg while aboard a real-life, stationary train car, just like the children in the story. They’ll enjoy stories, dancing, singing, and even a cup of hot choc-o-late while aboard the passenger car before boarding the baggage car to help a certain jolly man in a red suit build wooden train cars that they get to keep! Each session lasts approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes and is packed full of holiday fun! Tickets go on sale beginning at 9 am on October 14. Get yours quick – this event tends to sell out quickly! New for 2024, you will purchase your tickets first, and then fill out a form linked in your receipt with your child’s information to speed up the check-out process.
