The Magical Polar Express Train Ride In Montana Everyone Should Experience At Least Once

If you’ve ever ridden on the Charlie Russell Chew Choo dinner train, you already know what an amazing experience it is. And every December, the train route transforms into a festive journey to the North Pole.

The North Pole Adventure Train is quite popular—in fact, the 2016 dates are already sold out. But since we think it should be on every Montanan’s must-do list, we hope this heads up will allow you to plan for next year. And for those who already got tickets, you’re in for a special adventure.

The North Pole Adventure Train departs from the Hanover Boarding Station, which is a 15 minute drive from Lewistown.

The train ride is 2.5 hours long, running from 5 PM until 7:30.

You'll enjoy snacks, cocoa, and visits with Santa himself.

If you have little ones, they can tell Santa what they're hoping to get for Christmas.

Tickets for the North Pole Adventure Train go on sale on the first business day in October.

The dates for 2017 are November 25, December 2, December 8, December 9, December 15 and December 16.
