The Polar Express - South Devon Railway

Throughout your train ride you’ll be entertained, meeting the Conductor and his crew. All the while the train steams towards the North Pole. ! Here you’ll meet Santa and one of his friendly elves. He will climb on board the train to meet you all. The Conductor will even  clip your Polar Express tickets just like in the film.

Although we have no plans for the train to cross over an ice plain, don’t be surprised if you have to stop for caribou. Make sure you know what noise one makes as you may have to help clear them. As in the film, it’s very important not to pass through carriages while the train is moving!

After the show, there’ll be a photo opportunity. The whole family can pose with the Polar Express train – especially if you have a selfie stick. With the steam covering the platform, it makes a magical Christmas photo.

As well as the train ride itself, enjoy wonderful Christmas food stalls before the show where you can grab some hot food. There’s also a pre-show beginning 20 minutes before your train departs to get the whole family excited for your magical adventure.

After the show, you can visit Santa’s workshop where the elves will scan to see if you’re on the Naughty or Nice list this year! You can also visit his beautiful gift shop where Polar Express and other Christmas goodies are on offer.
