Can you feel a chill in the air? Winter is coming and with every chilly breeze comes the desire to cosy up with your loved ones. The Caledonian Railway Polar Express experience offers warmth, laughter and endless servings of hot chocolate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Any train that has <\/span>chefs singing, dancing, and serving cookies<\/b> gets a big, fat YES from us! The Polar Express experience on the Caledonian Railway will begin its quest to the North Pole in<\/span> Brechin<\/span><\/a>. Your experience will start with your <\/span>golden ticket –<\/b> hole-punched by the mystical conductor himself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Next, your waiters and waitresses will arrive and they’ll be dancing all over the shop! The chefs will show you <\/span>beautifully illustrated books<\/b> for the whole carriage to follow. Your children will gawp in amazement as scenes from the book play out in front of their wide curious eyes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Santa will emerge onto your carriage with a smile and bag full of all things shiny. There will be jingly and jangley sounds ringing out in the air but apparently not everyone can hear them? Do you know anything about this? If you’re a believer I’m sure you do…\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The train ride lasts 30 minutes but the full experience (on and off the train) lasts between 2 – 2.5 hours<\/b>. This is a <\/span>must-do <\/span><\/i>attraction during the festive period. Make your little one’s Christmas wishes come true and book tickets to the Polar Express. <\/span><\/div>
