the polar express at the ecotarium photoAll aboard! The magic of this seasonal hour-long journey begins with storytime, featuring Chris Van Allsburg’s classic winter tale The Polar Express.

The holiday tale then comes alive as the EcoTarium's 'elves' help families to the train station to board the Explorer Express Train for a trip around the EcoTarium's grounds.

The December air feels festive and joyful as the children ring their bells along the route.

After traveling the grounds, you'll head back indoors to warm up with hot cocoa and cookies — and, at the end of your journey — enjoy a special visit with Santa.

Each child will have an opportunity to personally visit with Santa. Be sure to bring your camera to capture your child's special moment!

Before you head home, take a few minutes to enjoy a model railroad display of the famous Polar Express train.
