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).
