The Polar Express Train Ride

The magical story comes to life on Alberta Prairie Railway as the train departs Stettler, Alberta, for a one-hour-long round-trip journey to the North Pole. Set to the sounds of the motion picture soundtrack, passengers will relive the magic of the story as they are whisked away on THE POLAR EXPRESS™. Once on board, passengers are served hot chocolate and a cookie treat by Polar Express Chefs, and adults receive a ceramic souvenir Polar Express mug. The children will be served their hot chocolate in a Polar Express double walled SEDA cup with a drip and spill resistant lid which is much easier for the youngsters to handle. Santa will board the train at the North Pole, and during the return trip will walk through each car, giving out the “first gift of Christmas” – a silver sleigh bell – to each and every guest who wants one. Everyone is encouraged to listen to recorded Christmas carols as the train makes its way back to the Stettler station. Please note: There are bathrooms at the station for use prior to and post-trip but there are no bathrooms on board the train. The train ride is one hour long, so please plan accordingly.
