THE POLAR EXPRESS Train at The Bellarine Railway
Get ready to embark on a magical journey this Christmas as THE POLAR EXPRESS Train Ride comes to the historic town of Queenscliff!
THE POLAR EXPRESS Train, Bellarine Railway
This festive adventure is based on the beloved children’s book by Chris Van Allsburg and the iconic film, bringing the story to life in the most enchanting way.
For us the whole experience was pure Christmas magic. Our kids absolutely love The Polar Express movie, so seeing it brought to life on a real train was just as exciting for us as it was for them.
From the moment you step onto the platform, the festive atmosphere sweeps you away. The Conductor greets passengers, checks tickets, and sets the scene for the journey.
Each family is presented with their Golden Ticket, just like in the story, a huge hit with the kids! The immersive theatrical experience means the characters you know and love are right there with you.
The immersive theatrical experience brings iconic characters to life. From the Conductor’s memorable question to the lively ‘Hot Chocolate’ dance, a mysterious encounter with the Hobo, carolling onboard the train, and a magical visit from Santa, each moment captures the essence of the movie.
Midway through the journey, passengers are offered a chilled chocolatey drink and homemade treats, served by THE POLAR EXPRESS ‘chefs’. As the journey continues, you can join in singing popular Christmas carols.
At the journey’s end, keep an eye out for the Elves, who will lead the way to the North Pole to meet Santa Claus. Every passenger will receive a special memento of the journey from the Jolly man himself , the first gift of Christmas!
