The Oklahoma Railway Museum is located in beautiful Oklahoma City, a popular tourist destination in the state.

This magical experience opens November 11 and runs on select dates through the end of December.

The Polar Express train ride has been recreated to mimic all the magic of the beloved story featured in the hit movie, Polar Express.

Guests are whisked away on a one-hour train ride to meet Santa.

Children love getting dressed in their pajamas and hopping on board to greet the conductors, sip hot cocoa, listen to the live reading of the classic children’s book of the same name, and enjoy the holiday lights, sights and sounds of the Christmas season.

On the way to pick up Santa at the North Pole, the book will be read out loud.

Once onboard, the conductors will come by and punch the golden tickets... just like in the movie. The train is festively decorated and the staff is in full character. It is one of the most family-friendly activities in Oklahoma.

On the journey back to the station, passengers sing Christmas carols and experience the magic of Christmas.

In addition to the great memories made on this magical trip...

.... each guest will take home a keepsake sleigh bell and souvenir golden ticket. There are 3 different price levels offered for the Polar Express Train: Value Departures, Standard Departures, and Peak Departures. Nominally priced, this event makes for a great budget-friendly activity.
