Tickets to one of Colorado’s most sought after holiday events goes on sale Tuesday.

The Colorado Railroad Museum’s The Polar Express Train Ride has sold out well in advance in the past several years, so it will be best to get tickets early. There will be a discount for all performances before Thanksgiving.

The event will run from Nov. 7 to Dec. 23 at 5 p.m., 6:30 p.m. or 8 p.m. each evening.

The train ride features a 90-minute three-part theatrical show with singing, hot chocolate and Santa, recreating “The Polar Express” story.

For 2025, two ticketing levels are available: standard seating and first class.

For standard seating, guests may purchase tickets for the specific number in their party. Standard seating tickets run between $80 to $100.

First class seating is available for purchase only in tables of four. First class tickets receive special seating, four commemorative cocoa mugs, a copy of “The Polar Express” illustrated hardbound book plus added gifts.

Get your Polar Express Train Ride tickets at ColoradoRailroadMuseum.org.
