It's a Magical 2-hour Journey, including :
A train ride to the North Pole in your PJs
Christmas Carols that we all sing together while aboard
Hot cocoa and candy to warm up your heart
A sea of Elves with their lanterns, awaiting you at the North Pole to deliver you to Santa
A read-aloud of the Caldecott Award winning book written and illustrated by Chris Van Allsburg
Santa himself giving the first gift of Christmas to all the kids
Wonderful memories for years to come
