Looking for a memorable holiday activity for the whole family? The North Fork Trolley’s Polar Express is back and ready to whisk you away to the North Pole! Kids (and kids at heart) are invited to experience the magic of this beloved story in real life, complete with hot cocoa, songs, and a cozy ride through the scenic North Fork.
What to Expect
Step into a world of enchantment from the moment you board the festive trolley. Decorated to bring the spirit of Christmas to life, the trolley becomes your family’s sleigh as you embark on a journey inspired by the classic tale, The Polar Express. Staff dressed as train conductors and elves enhance the magic, greeting guests with smiles, music, and holiday cheer.
The Journey
The adventure begins with boarding and continues as your family is treated to a reading of *The Polar Express* by Chris Van Allsburg. Enjoy sipping on hot cocoa and snacking on cookies, just like in the story! Kids are encouraged to wear their pajamas, making it feel like a true bedtime adventure as you roll along, listening to familiar holiday tunes and experiencing the joy of the season together.
Meeting Santa
Of course, the trip wouldn’t be complete without a special stop at the North Pole! Santa himself comes aboard to greet each child, taking time to listen to their holiday wishes. Every child receives a small gift, creating a treasured memory they can hold onto long after the last snow melts.
