Polar Express!

Last Christmas, we went aboard the Polar Express train ride. This is the official Polar Express hence quite popular so book in advance. I booked in October and the pries depend on the days i.e more expensive the week before Christmas but cheaper after or in late November. The prices were reasonable. We had to travel to Norfolk which took forever but it was worth it.

We received our golden tickets and headed to the ride. You had an option to come in your PJ  but since we traveled from London, we couldn't.  We were welcomed to a warm atmosphere of lots of character  from the movie walking  around and snippets of the movie playing on the screen. Once the time was closer to hop aboard, we saw a funny performance to get us into the festive mood.

Before we knew it, it was time to board the steam train to see Santa. The whole train ride lasted about 1hour and we were entertained throughout with  live performances from the Conductor and chest, singing songs. We were given a small lyric book so we could sing along. We were offered hot chocolate and a cookie before we continued laughing at the performers and singing some more. We came across Santa and Santa even came on the train. He gave a noisy present and spent gave time to all kids!

When we arrived back, we headed to the gift shop which had all the official merchandise of the movie. The kids had a jolly good time!
