STRASBURG — All aboard to see the new classic holiday film “The Polar Express” on a large screen among the historic trains in the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania on Saturday evening, Dec. 7.
On the night of Christmas Eve, a steam locomotive passenger train known as “The Polar Express” stops at the house of a boy who is growing skeptical about the existence of Santa Claus. The conductor says the train is traveling to the North Pole, and the boy, although reluctant at first, climbs aboard.
Wait until you see what happens next!
Tickets are $10 each for ages 3 and over; ages 2 and under are admitted free of charge. Each ticket includes the indoor showing of “The Polar Express” in the Museum’s climate-controlled main exhibit hall, a container of popcorn and hot chocolate. Purchase your tickets on Eventbrite.
