The Polar Express itself was also a great, magical experience. So much so that we have already decided we will take our daughter back when she is 3 and E is 6.5 (we felt like 3 was the perfect age). E’s favorites parts were his golden ticket getting punched, receiving his bell (we could all hear it ring), drinking hot chocolate, and of course Santa coming on the train at the North Pole.
If you are at all considering going I really can’t recommend it enough. We had the best time!
The only piece of advice I would give you is to book early if you are considering going in 2018 – we booked back in June and tickets were very limited. Also, the 5:30 train would be best. We did the 7pm and couldn’t see anything on the way out because it was too dark. 5:30 would be perfect as it would be light-ish on your way out and dark on your way back.
On that note I will leave you with this…
Though I’ve grown old the bell still rings for me…as it does for all who truly believe!
