THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride | B&O Railroad Museum

Returning to the B&O Railroad Museum for the 2026 holiday season!

Whether you’re starting a family tradition, planning a festive date night, or celebrating with friends, climb aboard for a magical, two-hour experience inspired by the beloved holiday classic! 

Slip into your coziest pajamas and climb aboard this enchanted train bound for the North Pole. Your adventure begins with a joyful live performance of “Hot Chocolate,” followed by a special moment with Santa himself—who presents each guest with the First Gift of Christmas: a silver sleigh bell. 

When you arrive at our winter wonderland, the magic continues with holiday crafts, cozy s’mores, festive shopping, and a keepsake photo with Santa. 

THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride brings the spirit of Christmas to life—for all who believe.
