We walked the town and would have loved going on this train, but unfortunately it was closed due to Covid virus. Maybe another time in the future :(

Highly recommend taking your children to the Polar Express! It exceed every expectation I had! My 5 year old shouted with glee several times! It’s pretty hard to get her that excited! The actors and actresses aboard the train make it absolutely magical! So please!
