One of the biggest Christmas events in Kent
"Fabulous!!! Absolutely recommend, will definitely be making this an annual trip for the family. Friendly, professional, true to the story and worth every penny. The kids were enthralled and loved every minute, including a very good Father Christmas who took time despite being on a tight schedule. Cannot wait to go next year. 10/10" - Lynne Porter 2025 guest.
We can’t thank our customers enough for all the amazing feedback we received over on our facebook page about your magical experiences on board THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride last Christmas, making it one of the biggest Christmas events in Kent! We saw customers of all ages, with friends, family and even solo travellers join us on board to meet the dancing chefs, the conductor, the mysterious hobo and Santa himself to enjoy an immersive Christmas journey like no other.
The mysterious hobo questioned your spirit of Christmas, asking the crucial question “Do you believe?” the chefs sang as they poured their signature hot chocolate, the conductor made sure you arrive on time to the North Pole and Santa himself gave out the very special first gift of Christmas, a silver bell from Santa’s own sleigh.
Throughout the Christmas season we have loved seeing all your pictures and videos of all the magical fun you got up to on board THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride from all your facebook reviews, comments and messages. If you want to experience the magic again, or if you’ve never been before, get a quick sneak peek into all the fun you expect on board and check out our gallery.
