Blackstone Valley Polar Express

Special Events · All ages · $ Paid · Registration required

Make a holiday trip to Woonsocket for a story-filled train adventure with Santa, hot chocolate, a cookie and a silver bell for each child. The experience takes about three hours overall, including a 90-minute train ride and activities around the depot. Selected weekend departures run November 6–December 20. Book a specific time and car class through the official page. First-class fares are $77–$110 for adults and $75–$104 for children 12 and under; premium and platinum seating cost more. Infants 12 months and under can use a $10 lap-sit upgrade, without cocoa or a cookie. The site lists an additional $8 processing fee; sales are final. Arrive early: check-in opens an hour before the ticketed time. There is no parking at the depot; use the downtown lots listed by the organizer. This is a Worth the drive holiday outing, not a stop for normal local-area plans.
