All aboard the Polar Express!
Volunteer with the Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad & celebrate the holiday season!
THE POLAR EXPRESS™ is the largest annual event at the museum drawing over 19,000 passengers each year! The fun begins at the Ocean Gateway Visitor Center, which serves as our train depot. Holiday decorations inside the train add to the festive atmosphere as guests on board meet the Conductor, enjoy hot chocolate and cookies served by our chefs, and listen to a reading of the enchanting story as they journey to the "North Pole." Santa greets children aboard the train while passengers sing along to carols as they travel back to the train station.THE POLAR EXPRESS™ train is staffed almost entirely by volunteers and and is the largest annual fundraiser for the museum - thank you for your support! Our event is the only officially licensed THE POLAR EXPRESS™ train ride in the state of Maine.
