This outdoor, socially-distanced event includes a 20-minute river ride to view the North Pole on a real-life boat – The Explorer – that is filled with a reading of the classic children’s story ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas, a delicious treat, activity sheets & crayons, and a scavenger hunt to find some of your favorite Christmas characters including the big guy in red where he’ll give a special greeting from the riverbank and pass along a gift to every child!!!

Bring a blanket to keep cozy, and kids… bring a flashlight to help you find the hidden items along the ride!
Arrive early for fantastic photo opportunities in front of our custom-made backdrops including a new Search For Santa backdrop, our popular letters to Santa mailbox, and our small gift shop that will include some official Polar Express items – all beside the decorated river landing where music is playing and the spirit of Christmas fills the air!
After your trip, enjoy a cup of Mimi & Pop’s hot chocolate which is included with your ticket!
