Get ready to embark on a magical journey as THE POLAR EXPRESS™ makes a stop at Queenscliff in Victoria.
The Bellarine Railway is delighted to bring this special family event to the Greater Geelong area. People of all ages can now experience the enchanting world of Chris Van Allsburg’s cherished children’s book in a whole new way!
THE POLAR EXPRESS™ passengers will be presented with their Golden Ticket upon their arrival at Queenscliff. Just be sure to hold onto this souvenir ticket in case it slips out the carriage window. Upon stepping onto the platform, the Conductor will greet everyone and start THE POLAR EXPRESS™ journey.
Families will be captivated by an immersive theatrical experience that brings iconic characters to life. From the Conductor’s memorable question to the lively ‘Hot Chocolate’ dance, a mysterious encounter with the Hobo, carolling onboard the train, and a magical visit from Santa, each moment captures the essence of the movie.
Midway through the journey, passengers will be offered a chocolatey cold drink and homemade biscuit, served by THE POLAR EXPRESS™ ‘chefs’. As the journey continues, families will be invited to join in singing popular Christmas carols. At the journey’s end, keep an eye out for the Elves, who will lead the way to the North Pole to meet Santa Claus. Every passenger will receive a special memento of the journey from the Jolly Man himself – The first gift of Christmas!
