Polar Express

Take a train ride based on the book "The Polar Express" by Chris Van Allsburg. Leave from the Downers Grove Main Street train station at 8:40 a.m. or 10:40 a.m. and travel to the North Pole (Aurora train station). During the journey professional storytellers read "The Polar Express" while you enjoy chocolate milk and cookies. Santa Claus boards the train at the North Pole for the return trip. Dress for the weather.

Children must be accompanied by an adult. Please note on registration form if you wish to travel with another family. No refunds issued after Saturday, November 13 by 12:00 p.m.

Due to the popularity of the program, registration is open to Downers Grove residents only. Nonresidents will be placed on a waitlist and called if the resident waitlist has been exhausted.
