North Pole City Train Trip Is a Great Christmas Gift Idea for Kids
New Dates for 2009! Based on the Christmas book by Chris Van Allsburg, Polar Express train rides bring the classic children's story to life with a real train ride and a visit with Santa Claus. Amid shouts of "All Aboard" and a jolly "ho-ho-ho," true believers set off on a magical Christmas train ride to North Pole City. Looking for
Christmas Trains?
click here Most "Polar Express" train rides feature a storyteller reading the famous book aloud. Cocoa and cookies are almost always served. And kids are encouraged to wear pjs on most evening excursions.
Outdoor holiday light displays, Christmas carol sing-alongs, and reindeers and elves often add to the festivities. Many of the trips include the gift of a bell from Santa's sleigh -- just like in the book -- and Santa Claus himself makes a special appearance on every "Polar Express."
