So you grew up with the book “The Polar Express” and were mesmerized by the story of a boy that took a magical journey. And chances are, you’ve read it once or twice to your kids as well… am I right?

Well, how about taking a journey on the North Pole Express yourself and with your family this holiday season?

But you’ll have to hurry because tickets go fast, and they sell out every season. That’s why I’m writing this blog entry on Halloween so you don’t miss out.

What’s so special about the ride?

This is a chance to let your imagination run wild. This is a chance for your family to experience a spellbinding trip of fantasy and delight. From the moment you step aboard the Polar Express to the end of your ride you create special memories.

Essex Steam Train’s North Pole Express chugs through Connecticut’s winter countryside with Santa Claus, Fridays through Sundays December 2 through December 23, with special early trips on November 25-27.

The ride is one hour long with departures each day at 5:00pm and 7:00pm.

The North Pole Express is a popular nighttime steam train ride with live readings of Christmas stories, hot chocolate and cookies, sing-alongs, and holiday surprises. Special guest Santa Claus has a treat for all children, and you’re guaranteed lots of fun and lots of extras.

Tickets are sold at the Essex Train Station in Essex, Connecticut, and are $20 for adults and $15 for children ages 11 and under. For times, reservations and further information, call (860) 767-0103 or toll free 800 377-3987.

Tickets are also available online and because it’s so popular my advice is to do it this way, and do it quickly. You can book online here.

All aboard for the ride of the season!

Talk to you later in the week,
