The North Pole Express
Come along on this exciting and immersive adventure to meet Santa Claus at the North Pole. Your journey begins at the Candyland Station where Hot Chocolate flows like a river and you are sure to bump into a few unique characters! Your train ride is scheduled for approximately 50 minutes of fun, filled with cookies and songs, that will eventually make its way to the North Pole, after making a pit stop to pick up some of Santa’s friends. Once at the North Pole, kids of all ages will enjoy meeting many of Santa’s elves and friends, not to mention meeting Santa and Mrs. Claus themselves! Make sure to take the time to enjoy all of Santa’s favourite activities, especially his miniature train ride through his expansive and magical workshop. See you there on a Saturday or Sunday soon!
