The Polar Express™

comes to life when the real train pulls out of the station with your family on board. The train will transport you to the North Pole where Santa will be waiting.

On this magical journey, guests on board the train will enjoy hot chocolate and cookies while reading along or listening to this classic award winning storybook. Children are encouraged to wear their pajamas for the ride.
Experience the joy of watching the children's faces when the train arrives at the "North Pole". Santa will board the train to greet each child and hand them their own sleigh bell. There will be caroling and entertainment, making this, what will surely become an annual holiday tradition for the whole family.

Board the ALL RESERVED "Polar Express" at Jon J. Duerr Forest Preserve - Blackhawk Station for a ride north to meet Santa and experience the magic of the season.
