Teach me about Polar Express!

Clearly I am behind the ball bc I didnt know I should be booking this now for Winter time. My DD will be 18 months, is she too young? Are tickets available for any of them? Where is the best one? Help!

Teach me about Polar Express!

I've only done the CT one.. it was a great time!!! We chose CT bc my DD hates the car and the other options we knew of were Saratoga or NJ.. CT was the least time in the car bc the ferry. We also do the childrens museum in the same area. CT tickets didn't go on sale yet, others did I believe. It really was a great time.

Did the ct one do hot chocolate? Or have Santa come? Did they give out bells to the kids? Sorry for all the questions. I tried buying tickets for a nj one 9 hours after opening and they had already sold out. Trying to see if we should book ct

I know NH may be too far but its awesome. You get hot chocolate on the train, a scarf, a bell, and candy. Carols are sung too. Then you arrive at santas village. The lil boy reads the polar express book then santa arrives. He goes around to every child! Yes every child. Everyone is in character either a chef on the train or elves its great!!! You can buy select dates now. If you want a certain date you have to enter a lottery and theres no way of knowing if youll get called to order tickets this event is veryyyyyy popular in north conway NH. It was so awesome last year.

I've done the North Pole Express in Essex, CT and my son loved it. He was 2 and we plan on going again this year. They have Santa and Mrs Claus visit each child, you get hot chocolate and cookies, sing songs and visit the "North Pole". It's very cute. Check out their website. Tickets go on sale soon.

I think it's too young. Def wait until next year when they at least can grasp the concept of Santa. Took my dd last year for the first time and she was 2.5.
