As night falls, the Polar Express arrives to wisk children and their families away to the North Pole. Little boys and girls, snuggled in their pajamas, wipe away the fog from the windows in eager anticipation of the sights and sounds or the North Pole.

From the hot chocolate to the trip to the North Pole, the Polar Express Event remains true to the book by Chris Van Allsburg. Due to the popularity of the event, tickets are available through a lottery. One in four entrants is chosen to purchase tickets.
