The magical Polar Express train ride near Calgary is back soon

All aboard the Polar Express! A version of the magical train from the beloved book and movie will be rolling into town this holiday season.

Hop on the train at Aspen Crossing and travel to the North Pole, complete with hot cocoa, cookies, and movie characters. As the journey begins, passengers will be entertained by a reading of The Polar Express.

Once you get to the “North Pole,” you’ll be greeted by Santa himself, and each child will receive their own sleigh bell, just like in the movie, “for those who believe.”

This festive experience is known to sell out fast — especially the closer we get to Christmas — so it’s definitely recommended that you grab your golden ticket for the hour-long train ride sooner rather than later.
