The trip runs from Ely through the special “North Pole.”
Santa, of course, visits the train during its journey! He makes sure that he personally delivers to every child a special commemorative gift.
While Santa greets the children, his elves deliver hot chocolate and cookies to all the passengers.
The story of The Polar Express and music from the movie soundtrack are played on the train’s sound system during the trip.
As the train returns back to Ely from its visit to the North Pole, passengers sing Christmas carols together. The ride is about 60-90 minutes total.
The trip is $42 for adults and $25 for children 4-12. It’s free for children 3 and under. There are also local and military discounts.
The Polar Express is pulled along its way by a vintage diesel locomotive.
