This review is based only on the indoor, upstairs playstructure/arcade area…read more First off, the parking was easy and the staff was nice. We paid for two 10 year olds and went upstairs to play. There was only one other kid and his adult in this room. Other kids were at the establishment but they were in day camps. My first impression was that the room smelled strongly of stinky feet. But the kids wanted to play in AC as it was HOT outside, so I held my breath When we tried the arcade games, half of them took our money so we gave up. They did get two to work and were able to get a "prize" but still dissapointing. To be fair, there did seem to be other play structures and water play outside but I think that it was either for the camp kids only, or it cost more. I could have asked, but my two were over it. It might just be for younger kids. For the price, I probably won't bring my daughter back.

I have always loved the Polar Express book and then the movie after it came out. When I saw this…read moreadvertised on local TV, I just had to check it out. Tickets ran 50$ for kids and 60$ for adults. I know they offered discount coupons and I imagine cheaper pre-event tickets as well. I was so excited, I paid full price and bought as soon as the commercial ended. Your tickets include (2 hour experience): santa letter writing area, a golden ticket, entertainment, hot chocolate (just like the movie, ohhhh it was great), a cookie, character interaction,a real train ride (yep!), a reading of the book, caroling, an up close and personal visit from Mr. C himself and a souvenir silver bell for every rider. Other riders will tell you how magical it was and boy was it, we all wore PJs. It is truly a memory making experience. Everyone seemed to be having a great time. I wanted to offer some insider info that's not on the website. Try to arrive 30-45min early. That will give you plenty of time to park and leisurely walk calmly into the station, get your tickets, take photos by the tree, etc. We got there an hour early and added pre window shopping in gift store, eating and bathroom breaks. You can park in an adjacent parking lot, jot down your license plate # and pay at kiosk or via a mobile app. I think it was 12-15$ for 4 hours. Definitely wear PJs, nice photo opp in the waiting area before the train ride. The area for check-in is clearly marked. You can leave your family in the staging area while someone goes to get the tickets. Catch a meal before you go, the only food they have is a Subway or a hotdog type stand (we did it, not so good) at the station. Or bring your own food or snacks. The seats seemed strange on the website and not knowing what I was doing, I ended up booking wacky tickets. There are two seats on one side of the train and two seats on the other side, so a family of four should book across the aisle from each other. Luckily our car was empty, so we were able to move into better positions. I enjoyed the daytime ride and with young kids, I liked it better. I don't think that a day or night time event makes a difference. It's a great show anytime of day. Lastly, there's a gift shop. I looked at all the stuff, they had some cool things. There was one thing that I bought for all the kids that turned out being way cooler than I realized. It was a frame, that can hold a photo or in our case, the golden ticket and the souvenir silver bell. For15$ it's a good value and will remind us of a magical day. It's a great event as a one time experience or a yearly tradition...... "Cause that's the way things happen on the Polar Express"

A magical experience for the entire family.

The music was lovely. The event is true to the story including tastey hot chocolate and an actual sleigh bell handed to you by Santa with a twinkle in his eye.
