The Polar Express Train Ride

The Polar Express Train Ride in Stettler offers a one-hour round-trip railway journey that brings the beloved Christmas story to life. Set to music from the motion picture soundtrack, the experience includes hot chocolate and a cookie served by Polar Express Chefs. Each family group receives a ceramic souvenir mug at the end of the trip. At the North Pole, Santa boards the train and visits every car on the return journey, offering a silver sleigh bell—the “first gift of Christmas”—to each guest who wants one. Passengers are encouraged to sing along with Christmas carols on the way back to Stettler station. Washrooms are available at the station before and after the trip, but there are no washrooms aboard the train, so guests should plan accordingly.
