All Aboard for the Polar Express

The bell still rings for all who truly believe—a 90-minute round-trip to the North Pole aboard a vintage locomotive, set to the motion picture soundtrack.

Ninety minutes to the North Pole

The conductor will punch a golden ticket for each child as the train departs. Dancing chefs and waiters perform while Christmas carols play, and you'll hear a reading of the classic children's book by Chris Van Allsburg. At the North Pole, Santa and his elves board to greet passengers and present each guest with the first gift of Christmas. Every child takes home a keepsake sleigh bell and souvenir golden ticket, plus hot chocolate and Walker's Shortbread cookies—the official onboard treat. We recommend wearing Christmas pajamas for even more magic.

Plan Your Journey

The Polar Express departs on select dates throughout the holiday season: November 22–24, November 29–December 1, December 5–8, December 12–17, and December 19–23. Plan to arrive 45 minutes before departure to allow time for parking and ticket pickup. Boarding begins 30 minutes prior to departure, and the train cannot hold for late passengers. Bring your camera, wear your Christmas jammies, and prepare for 90 minutes of pure magic as the conductor punches golden tickets, dancers perform, and Santa boards at the North Pole to greet every guest.
