All Aboard for a Holiday Adventure
This holiday season, families across Long Island are invited to step into the pages of a beloved Christmas story and experience The Polar Express Trolley Ride — a one-of-a-kind holiday attraction departing from Scott’s Pointe in Calverton. Running from Friday, November 28 through Tuesday, December 23, 2025, this immersive, theatrical journey brings the magic of the holidays to life for both the young and the young at heart.
Set to the sounds of the original motion picture soundtrack and inspired by the timeless children’s book by Chris Van Allsburg, this unforgettable ride captures the wonder and warmth of the season in true North Fork fashion.
A Journey to the North Pole
Guests begin their adventure at the Scott’s Pointe Trolley Station at 5835 Middle Country Road in Calverton, where they’ll check in, receive their golden tickets, and prepare to board one of the vintage-style trolleys. From there, passengers are whisked away on a one-hour round-trip journey to the North Pole, guided by cheerful conductors who bring the story to life.
As the trolley rolls along, guests can read along with the classic book, sip hot chocolate, and enjoy delicious cookies as they anticipate their arrival at Santa’s snowy village.
At the North Pole, passengers are treated to a live theatrical performance inspired by The Polar Express before meeting Santa himself — who gifts each child the first gift of Christmas, a silver sleigh bell that only true believers can hear.
A Magical Experience for All Ages
The return trip to Calverton is just as joyful, with passengers joining in Christmas carols and holiday entertainment while cherishing the memories they’ve made. Each guest leaves with their keepsake sleigh bell and a heart full of holiday spirit.
Families are encouraged to wear their pajamas, just like in the story, adding to the whimsy and warmth of the evening. Many visitors make it a tradition to bring grandparents, cousins, and friends — creating a new family memory that lasts far beyond the holiday season.
Special Touches & Gift Shop Treasures
Before boarding, guests can browse the Polar Express Gift Shop, where exclusive merchandise and pre-order bundles are available. Online pre-orders come packaged in a keepsake tote bag and can be picked up at check-in alongside your golden tickets — a perfect way to remember your journey.
