The Ride

What to Expect

Set to the sounds of the motion picture soundtrack, passengers will relive the magic of the classic story as they are whisked away on THE POLAR EXPRESS™ for a magical one-hour trip to meet Santa. Once on board, your hosts will work their way through the car and punch your golden ticket before hot chocolate and a delicious cookie are served by dancing chefs. Passengers then read along with the classic children’s book, The Polar Express, by Chris Van Allsburg.

Santa and his elves board the train to greet passengers with the first gift of Christmas. During the trip, characters on each car lead passengers in an immersive onboard experience – just like in the film! In addition to the wonderful memories made on this magical trip, each guest will take home a keepsake sleigh bell and souvenir golden ticket.

Passengers are required to arrive approximately one hour before their listed departure time in order to park and check in at museum located at 3400 NE Grand Blvd, Oklahoma City, OK 73111. Further event information is available in Frequently Asked Questions. Guests are subject to the Conditions of Sale.
