In case you haven’t heard of the Polar Express Christmas train ride
experience, it is based on the beautiful Christmas story by Chris Van
Allsburg – The Polar Express.
This book of course was also made into a film which features Tom Hanks.
During the train ride, you will meet characters from the film. The main characters you will meet are the Polar Express conductor, the singing chefs and Santa.
The experience will include singing and dancing, a hot drink and a cookie and a meeting with Santa. Each passenger will receive a Polar Express themed gift at the end (usually a silver bell).
