Grab your pajamas and a cup of hot chocolate because The Polar Express Train is back at St. Louis’ Union Station.

Ticket Information and Hotel Packages

From now through December 30, visitors to Union Station in St. Louis can once again experience the magic of The Polar Express, traveling on a train bound for the North Pole. Get your Golden Tickets at www.stlpolarexpressride.com. These train rides sell out fast, so don’t wait.

Train Schedule and Ride Times

Tickets include hot chocolate and cookies for riders, caroling throughout the train, listening to The Polar Express story, and maybe even a visit from a very important man in red. Hotel packages are also available, with tickets going on sale very soon, and trust us, they go quickly. I wonder if the crew sings and dances, too?

There are three trains a night with times at 4:30 pm, 6 pm, 7:15 pm, and 8:30 pm.

Visitors are encouraged to wear pajamas, and I truly believe this train ride can be enjoyed at any age. I never got to experience it with my girls, but even as teenagers, I think they would have loved riding The Polar Express.
