PHOENIX — Rides on the Grand Canyon Railway & Hotel’s Polar Express will be offered this holiday season from Nov. 10 through Dec. 30.
The train will run from Williams to “the North Pole” most nights at 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Round-trip experiences last about 90 minutes.
The Polar Express is billed as “a holiday-themed train adventure for guests of all ages, following the storyline of the children’s book written by Chris Van Allsburg,” according to a press release.
Each “adventure” features holiday songs, dancing chefs, cookies and hot chocolate, a special reading of “The Polar Express” and a visit by Santa Claus.
Guests and groups can charter their own train or have private luxury railroad cars added to the scheduled Polar Express.
