Make lifetime family memories! The Dennison Depot offers the authentic POLAR EXPRESS™ Train ride, sanctioned by Warner Brothers and Rail Events.Join us for this family reenactment of the award-winning book, “THE POLAR EXPRESS™“, written by Chris Van Allsburg. Your adventure begins on board our decorated vintage coaches as Storytellers read the story aloud. As the train heads north toward the North Pole, festive elves will entertain you with songs, games, and activities. As you travel to the North Pole in your PJ’s enjoy a beverage and delicious cookies, specially made by Mrs. Claus just for you.When the train arrives at the North Pole, you will see Santa and his workshop out your train window. (Passengers do not get off the train.) Our visit to the North Pole lasts long enough to pick up the most important person – Santa! Once onboard, Santa will visit with children and gift them all with a special jingle bell taken from his reindeer’s harness. When you hear the bell ring…you truly believe!Tickets are available for members beginning April 2025. Tickets Sales will open to everyone in August 2025.
