Polar Express Cape Cod Central Railroad

Kind or expensive, and lame. Save your hard earned money for something better than this, sorry to say.

I exchanged some point in MIX104.1 freeloaders website for a 4-​pack family tickets to the Polar Express. I am very delighted to be able to take my friend Dianne, her daughter and the little girl she babysits on the train ride.
A you walk into the Cape Cod Central Railroad, you’re greeted on the right by a little gift shop and on the ride you can take pictures with the Conductor. Directly in front of you is where you would pick up your tickets. You can wait in the station or outside. The weather wasn’t bad so it was ok outside.
The price in the gift shop was a little outrageous but it wasn’t too bad considering that’s where they make heir money as well.
We were designated to Train A coach which was the last/​first car depending in which direction you’re going. Each way was 30 minutes.
the ride itself was fun. we had a couple of kids with us and it’s amazing for them so you can’t help but be happy and fill with Christmas spirit.
The story was read while the train was in motion. It took a really long time for Santa and the conductor to get to us. We were nearly back at the station by then. Hot chocolate (warm) was offered along with a cookie. If you were in the premier seats you’d get to keep a mug and you’d also would have paid a higher price of course.
It’s a bit expensive but it was fun.

I went on this train ride with a friend of mine. Getting the tickets was quite a process, considering that they canceled all trips out of Hyannis while we were in the Cape. However, both of us, being adult children and the Polar Express being one of our favorite stories, made the trek back to Buzzards Bay. The ride was nice, the people they had working were wonderful. Especially the conductor, the tiny elf with more enthusiasm than a classroom full of first graders and Santa. The kids on board all had smiles on their faces. I think it was well worth the money!
