The Polar Express Train Ride – Wensleydale Railway, Northallerton

Don your finest festive PJs and climb aboard the Polar Express as the magical family film comes to life.

When you get to the platform, it seems to be empty… But it won’t be for long, as the Polar Express will soon arrive. As the platform fills with pyjama-clad guests, the excitement filling the air will mount as you hear the Grand Arrival begin. The first sparks of magic begin when snow fills the platform as the train pulls to a stop…

“ALL ABOARD!” calls the conductor, and the chefs help you on board. As you make your way to your seats, the show is about to begin. The train pulls away from the platform and you’ll be treated to some familiar songs from the film, performed for you by the very talented chefs. You’ll even be served some hot, hot, hot chocolate and a cookie, just like in the film.

Before you know it, the very special guest will join you on board your train ride. Santa Claus himself will appear right there in your carriage. He will say hello to your children and provide them with the First Gift of Christmas, a beautiful shiny silver sleigh bell. Whilst Santa makes his way through the carriage, you’ll hear the familiar cry of ‘tickets, please!’ as the Conductor checks everyone’s Golden Tickets.

Filled with all the magic and wonder of the Christmas season, the Polar Express Train Ride is a festive experience like no other.
