Elevate your family holiday travel with a magical ride on Grand Canyon Railway. The holiday spirit comes alive as Grand Canyon Railway transforms into The Polar Express, taking families on an unforgettable trip to the North Pole.
The Polar Express is set to run on select dates from Nov. 8 to Dec. 30, departing at the Railway’s historic depot in Williams, Arizona. The 90-minute holiday ride offers excitement for travelers of all ages and brings the pages of Chris Van Allsburg’s classic book to life.
