SPECIAL NOTICE

“Early Bird” reservations are selling out quickly. Since the reservations are Eastern Time, for those on Central time, please remember that you gain an hour going back home, so don’t hesitate to make your reservations at a later time. Have your children dress in their P.J’s (and warm outer clothing if needed), They will be in costume for traveling through the Polar Express Tunnel on their trip. Upon return to the Station, stop by the Earthen Vessels Recovery Center’s Food Truck for refreshments, including hot chocolate. Your Family will have made great memories on this TRAIN ride adventure. For General Admission “Walk-ins” consider coming to ride after 8:00 EST to avoid longer waiting time. Again, Central timers gain an hour going home. It is a spectacular ride and well worth the wait if you decide to come earlier.
