The Polar Express Train Ride Registration Deadline
All aboard! The Polar Express rides again!
Come along with us on one of our most popular events and listen to the story of the Polar Express as we travel to the North Pole.* You’ll enjoy sing-a-longs, games, chocolate milk and cookies, and a visit from Santa.
Registration deadline is 5:00pm Friday November 18, but space is limited and seats go fast, so sign up early.
There will be two train rides per day this year. Check in is at the Des Plaines Train Station on Miner between Pearson and Lee Streets.
• Strollers are not allowed on trains.
• There must be at least one parent for every three children.
