The Polar Express Train Ride

Join us for a Magical Excursion Onboard The Polar Express Train Ride

Experience the magic this holiday season. Join us for a truly unforgettable immersive theatrical re-creation of the classic holiday story, The Polar Express Train Ride. Climb aboard a vintage steam train as it departs our Durango Depot for the North Pole to pick up Santa Claus himself.  You’ll be immersed in the story as our chefs serve you hot chocolate and a sweet treat while you listen to a reading from the Polar Express book. After arriving at the North Pole, you’ll enjoy an incredible light show set to holiday music. On the return trip to Durango, Santa will visit each coach and hand out the first gift of Christmas to each passenger.

First told in the award-winning book by Chris Van Allsburg, this is the story of a child’s Christmas Eve journey. It was adapted to the big screen in 2004. And now it comes alive each year with The Polar Express Train Ride. All ages can enjoy the experience, warmth, and fun of the Christmas season on a special steam train trip to the North Pole. Certain dates and car types will sell quickly so you’ll want to book soon to reserve your preferred seating.

The Polar Express Train Ride is our most popular event of the year and is an annual holiday tradition for many riders. While the train excursion is roughly 65 minutes in duration, we recommend allowing 2 hours for the entire adventure so you can enjoy the full experience. The weather can be cold at the North Pole, so we recommend layering properly, even though all the cabins are heated aboard the train. As always, we recommend wearing pajamas to capture the Christmas spirit. Click below for more frequently asked questions about The Polar Express Train.
