Ready to believe?
This holiday season, step into the magic of the classic story and movie as you climb aboard THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride at Delaware River Railroad Excursions in charming historic Phillipsburg, New Jersey — the Northeast’s original Polar Express experience!
For over 20 years, families have made this unforgettable journey part of their holiday tradition. On a festive ~90-minute round-trip ride, you’ll:
- Have your Golden Ticket punched by cheerful conductors
- Enjoy hot chocolate and cookies served by dancing chefs
- Listen to the beloved story set to the movie soundtrack (narrated by Liam Neeson)
- Meet Santa Claus himself, who gives every child a special silver sleigh bell — the first gift of Christmas!
Wear your pajamas (highly encouraged!) and soak in the holiday cheer with singing, storytelling, and pure North Pole magic.
