The Polar Express experience here consistently delivers magical holiday memories that captivate kids and adults alike. Families rave about the enthusiastic staff who fully embrace their roles, creating an immersive atmosphere with storytelling, music, hot cocoa, cookies, and a memorable Santa visit. The journey lasts about 90 minutes, which seems to be the sweet spot for keeping everyone engaged without little ones getting restless. The VIP tickets earn special mentions for being worth the upgrade, offering extra perks that enhance the experience. Parents appreciate how well-organized everything is, from arrival to departure, and many note they plan to make this an annual tradition. One small hiccup mentioned was a guest not receiving expected photo opportunities, though this appears to be an isolated incident. Most visitors recommend arriving 45 minutes early to grab coffee and soak in the pre-ride excitement. Even teenagers admit to having fun, which tells you something about the quality of the entertainment.
Our group of four, (ages ranged as young as 12 to 35), had such a great time riding the train carts. Our host, Krissy was super funny, pleasant, and knowledgeable. We felt safe and had such a fun time. We stopped at the Fruit Company and checked out Mt Hood Winery during our excursion. The children are allowed in the winery, and we enjoyed the stunning view of Mt Hood as we relaxed before our journey back to the train station. The staff were kind and so helpful. We highly recommend checking them out! It’s a perfect summertime adventure.
