The Polar Express Trolley Ride
- see all dates
Depart from The All Star in Riverhead or from The Omni/Hampton Jitney in Southampton and travel north, interacting with a character from the movie and listening to Liam Neeson’s reading of The Polar Express.
When you arrive at the "North Pole," you will disembark the trolley and visit with Santa; where he and the elves will entertain you and your family. In addition, he will be giving children the first present of Christmas! Finally, they’ll have hot cocoa and cookies ready for you.
Children (and parents!) are encouraged to attend in pajamas and don’t forget your camera to capture your time with Santa.
In order to ensure that you are able to travel on your desired dates, please make reservations early as this event sells out every year. Please understand that a portion of the performance is on board our trolleys which operate along public roadways, therefore ages 2 and over are only allowed on the trolleys.
