Have a Magical Experience in a Cozy Living Room on the Rails

Ride in our classic, upgraded rail cars to the North Pole. If you’ve experienced or are looking into our standard Polar Express Train, you’re on a car that seats up to 80 people. The Ultimate Polar Express is much more intimate, with only 22 – 32 seats.

Testimonials

We can't even begin to say how much fun we had on the Ultimate Polar Express!

“We can't even begin to say how much fun we had on the Ultimate Polar Express! It was simply magical! Jim and Janet were amazing, the Santa was so good, and the Conductor was awesome! Our kids said that was the best family vacation we have done together, and I appreciate your kindness to us so much, especially for my elderly parents. They loved it, and it was nice for us to be together. We are recommending to everyone who has seen our Instagram photos and who have commented about it. You guys are truly wonderful!”

We had THE BEST time on the Ultimate Polar Express Experience...

“We had THE BEST time on the Ultimate Polar Express Experience. It was beyond what we could have ever hoped. Nicole went out of her way to fix a glitch on arrival; McKenzie was a fabulous and engaging Chef; Alexander went out of his way to meet me before departure so that Santa could gift William exactly what he'd ask for; the Conductor was fantastic and punched our names into our tickets; but most of all, Santa was spectacular. He was warm, funny, engaging, and relatable. He made the experience truly magical. William has not stopped talking about it. It was perfect.”
-Jaynine W.

I wanted to tell you what an amazing job you and your crew did.

“I wanted to tell you what an amazing job you and your crew did. From the hotel to the restaurant and especially the polar express crew. From the conductor the chefs and the engineer. They did such a great job making to a magical experience for all of us. I can’t tell you how special it was for the kids and adults. Definitely the best experience we have had on an outing.”
