The Vermont Children’s Trust Foundation hosts an annual Polar Express train ride in Burlington, Vermont, offering a magical holiday experience for families.

Each year, the Vermont Children's Trust Foundation hosts their annual Polar Express train ride. Along with being the agency's signature fundraiser, riding the magical Polar Express is a top attraction that draws visitors to Burlington, Vermont, from all over the country every holiday season. Burlington has the largest population in Vermont and its only 45 minutes south of Canada. Therefore, its location is perfect for a delightful Polar Express adventure! All aboard!

The special experience begins at the South Entrance of the Wing Building in Burlington and heads to the North Pole (a.k.a Union Station).

The experience begins once you give the conductor your ticket. After you get settled, enjoy the 75-minute ride to the North Pole.

Who's more excited to meet Santa?

The Polar Express is a wonderful experience for children of all ages. Guests are encouraged to get into the holiday spirit by boarding the Polar Express in their pajamas.

The train ride takes passengers through beautiful Burlington, Vermont.

Once guests are settled on board, they'll enjoy holiday treats like cookies and hot cocoa. Guests can also join the conductors in Christmas caroling.

It's all smiling faces when it's time to disembark from the Polar Express.

Make sure to bring your camera to capture the magical memories you'll make during this special occasion.

At the end of the ride, guests will gather to have the classic Polar Express tale read to them.

Guests are invited to donate books that the Vermont Children's Trust Foundation will give to local prevention programs.

Of course, kids will get a Merry Christmas greeting from Santa too!
