To enhance your family’s experience, we have extended the train ride to the North Pole and have added a third train!

Enjoy popular features from previous years as well as some new adventures along the way. After leaving the station, the narrated train ride will travel through bear country where you’ll encounter some friendly bears doing some rather unusual things. As the Sullivan Express leaves the woods, enjoy the smell of fresh greens as our North Pole-bound train moves through the Sullivan Christmas tree lot. As the train gets closer to the North Pole, there is a small problem that leads the train on a new course and some unexpected surprises… that you’ll have to see for yourself!

Upon your arrival at the North Pole, the kids can play in Santa’s workshop as your family takes turns visiting with Kris Kringle himself. Afterward, you will catch the next train back to Central Station.

• A purchase quantity of 1 ticket includes space in one car for your entire family… parents and kids. Don’t purchase by the number of people…that will cost a lot more!!

• If space is available in your car (seats about 4 adults), Grandma and Grandpa can ride too. If no space is available, the rest of your party can join you at the North Pole… by hoofing it on foot.

• You be the photographer. You take all the photos you want with your camera or phone… we don’t want to be blamed for a bad Christmas photo!

• Once you leave the station, your trip will last approximately 30 minutes.

• We run 8 trains per hour (2 per reservation time) that can accommodate 4 families each.

• Contact us for disability accommodations or hearing impaired at events@sullivanhardware.com

• Rides on the train are available when Santa is not in for $5 per person ($20 per family maximum). Check our FAQ page for more about “Open Ride” times.
