The Polar Express Train Ride on Galveston Island is back and better than ever for the holidays! The interactive family adventure is open now through December 23 and lets people go on a one-hour round-trip trip to the North Pole. Fans love The Polar Express, which has already made over 1.4 million people happy at 54 sites in the US, Canada, and the UK.
People will relive the heartwarming magic of the famous holiday story while listening to the movie's soundtrack. When people get on the train, a conductor will punch their golden tickets to welcome them. Then, dancing cooks will serve them hot cocoa and cookies. The fun keeps going as people read along with Chris Van Allsburg's "The Polar Express" and enjoy entertainment on board led by costumed characters, just like in the movie.
For the ride, kids and their families should wear their favorite jammies. Guests will enjoy holiday fun and will also receive a keepsake sleigh bell and a golden ticket as a souvenir. These will be wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. At www.GalvestonRRMuseum.org you can now buy tickets for this holiday event.
Hurry and book your tickets soon!
