Experience the magic of The Polar Express™, the classic children's book by Chris Van Allsburg.
The Polar Express comes to life when the train departs the Williams Depot for a journey through the dark and quiet wilderness for a special visit to the "North Pole." Enjoy hot chocolate and cookies while listening to the magical story. Watch the joy on the children's faces when the train arrives at the North Pole, where Santa Claus and his reindeer are waiting! Santa will board The Polar Express and hand each child their own special gift. Make this a family holiday tradition. Call today to make your reservations because space is limited to those who truly believe in the spirit of Christmas!
The train leaves each night at 6:30 p.m. Most evenings have a second departure time at 8:00 p.m. Book online now or call 1-888-848-3511.

The Season of Giving
Arizona Law Enforcement celebrates the season and the spirit of giving through its annual toy drive. Participate in the drive by bringing a new, unwrapped toy to the Polar Room at the Railway Depot and share the joy of the holiday season with a family in need.
As an alternative to bringing a toy, Grand Canyon Railway will be collecting cash donations on-site to be used for purchasing toys for the Toy Drive. If you're running short on time and can't make it by the store to pick up your donation, don't worry - drop off a cash donation and the Grand Canyon Railway elves will take care of the rest.
