The Polar Express Wensleydale Railway

THE POLAR EXPRESS™ 2025 Train Ride

 

 

Your journey begins just like THE POLAR EXPRESS motion picture when THE POLAR EXPRESS™ will pick you up at Leeming Bar station to take you on your Christmas journey. You will get to meet the characters from the film including the conductor, the singing chefs, the hobo and of course the main man himself Father Christmas. Join families, couples and just those big kids who believe in our magical train ride.

Throughout your journey, you may tangle with the caribou and other magical happenings, as you have the original story of THE POLAR EXPRESS™ told to you by the singing Chefs. Don’t forget to have a bite of your tasty treat and a sip of authentic hot chocolate before meeting the main man himself Santa Claus.

Santa will join you on board and, if you are on the nice list, hand you your first gift of Christmas, a Silver Sleigh Bell just like in the motion picture we all love. You will get to say hello to Santa as he hands you your first gift of Christmas and he may even sign your THE POLAR EXPRESS™ book which is available to purchase with your tickets.

Once you arrive back at the station your journey head into our magical gift shop with the largest collection of THE POLAR EXPRESS 2024 Train Ride merchandise and exclusive gifts in the country!
