Polar Express Train Ride on Cape Cod Central Railroad
- see all dates
Also on December 19, 2023, December 20, 2023, December 21, 2023.
Adventure comes to life when the train departs for a round-trip journey to the North Pole led by a 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 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.
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. Wear your Christmas jammies for even more fun.
