Macaroni Tips:
Tickets sell out within hours so be sure to buy early!
Santa and other characters from The Polar Express walk through the cars. If your little ones are afraid of Santa or other characters, be on the lookout for them or prep your child ahead of time.
Save your ticket. If you ask nicely, the train conductors can punch out holiday words on your ticket just like in the movie!
Feel free to bring snacks to eat on the train.
