All aboard as NPL sets off for the North Pole!

Registration is required for this event and space is limited. Please register each family member attending (kids and adults!), by selecting Add Another during registration. Staff make this program personalized, so registration will close on Wednesday, December 11 at 9 pm so that we can plan accordingly.

For The Polar Express Experience, bundle up in your warmest pajamas! Arrive at our train station to be greeted by conductors, holiday games, and a photo booth. Board the Polar Express for a merry caroling session and a reading of Chris Van Allsburg’s classic story. Then disembark at the North Pole for a winter wonderland—complete with a show, creamy hot cocoa, and a visit from Santa Claus! And who knows? Perhaps you’ll be the one to receive the first gift of Christmas!
