For some people it's not Christmas until you've seen your favorite family movie together.  Polar Express, the movie, embodies the magic of Santa Claus and the wonder of childhood.  The Polar Express Experience helps bring the spirit of Christmas to South Florida families by allowing them to be a part of scenes from the movie on this special train ride.  Do you Believe?  Sing a long to the songs and enjoy your hot cocoa as you take a journey into the movie.
