What an interesting idea/concept! The Caboose sounds a bit excessive, especially if it’s just for one day, but I am sure it’s a magical experience!
Wow! This is amazing! I’ve never heard of this. Does this happen every year? I watched the movie, Polar Express. Very life like for sure.
What a dream come true for kids! Polar Express is one of our favorite Christmas Movies, this would be so much fun!
What a fun activity! Thanks for sharing all the detailed info. I love that the tickets include hot cocoa, that’s so cool 🙂
We love the movie Polar Express here at our house during the holidays. My kids always say they wish they could experience a train ride like the one they see in the movie. They would absolutely love this train ride. How cool that they are bringing the movie to life in a way.
I’d love to do something like this too. Michigan is the perfect place to do it because it feels like the North Pole. 😉
This sounds like an awesome experience! If I were in Michigan, I would round my family and friends up to do this for sure!
I have always wanted to go on a train and your right this does look magical!
