The Polar Express Train Ride

All aboard for a magical holiday adventure!

Experience the wonder of The Polar Express™ Train Ride at the Medina Railroad Museum — a heartwarming recreation of the beloved Christmas classic by Chris Van Allsburg. Step aboard one of our powerful locomotives and historic train cars for a 1¼-hour round-trip journey to the North Pole to pick up Santa Claus himself!

Set to the sounds of the motion picture soundtrack, this immersive holiday experience brings the story to life as chefs serve rich hot chocolate and sweet treats while leading passengers in cheerful songs and dances. As the train glides through the winter countryside, children and families will read along with the story and await Santa’s arrival.

At the North Pole, Santa climbs aboard to greet every child and present each with a special silver sleigh bell — the first gift of Christmas. On the return trip, the carriages fill with laughter, carols, and the joy of the season.
