Yes it maybe a little early but you know when everything going on a little Christmas magic cannot be a bad thing and you know what I feel better for it. You don’t have to have watched the movie to enjoy the experience, but watching the movie before your day out can add to the experience. Telford Polar Express is a lovely Christmas experience with the re-telling of the story whilst drinking hot chocolate and eating a cookie. Directed by veteran Robert Zemeckis, It is a production that unveils, throughout its 100 minutes, the story of an American boy in the late 1950s. The Polar Express is a 1985 fantasy children's picture book written and illustrated by American author Chris Van Allsburg.

If you’re more of a book fan than a film fan, why not get your copy of POLAR EXPRESS with your tickets? At the end of the projection, we were left with the feeling that Zemeckis achieved his goal, of combining technology and magic in the same product. The Polar Express races north past towns and villages, through boreal forests, and over mountains, but the train never slows down.

The boy and the other children see thousands of elves gathered at the center of town waiting to send Santa Claus on his way. However, no elves are seen because, as the Conductor explains, they are gathering at the Square where Santa will give the first gift of Christmas to one of the children. There will be hot chocolate and a cookie served during the train ride and upon meeting Father Christmas at his home in the North Pole, a gift of a silver sleigh bell will be presented and the whole family will get to talk to him. In addition, The Polar Express is a very, very beautiful and careful film with its theme, even if the story could have denser characters and conflicts to make the experience even more unforgettable.

Plus, if the carriage suddenly gets cold, and you start seeing things the chef can’t – a familiar face might be nearby, checking whether you’re a Doubter or a True Believer! The Conductor will introduce himself and then we will leave on our magical journey to the North Pole. There are many Christmas steam train experiences in the UK but the most well known of all of them are the Polar Express train rides. Yes, up to 3-year-olds can be seated on a parent’s knee and they will of course receive a hot chocolate, cookie, and bell from Santa too. Please do not read the blurb, as it tells you the ending, and that is one of the few perfect things about this book.

Remember to be on their best behaviour as the elves will be scanning little ones to see if they’re on the nice list this year. Each piece of territory crossed is a different learning experience, marked by its still incipient trajectory. When the Polar Express arrives at the North Pole, again the pictures are landscapes in which the streets thronged with elves are shown at such a distance that the elves are red smudges between the buildings. When Chris was three years old, his family moved to a new house at the edge of Grand Rapids that was part of a development; a kind of planned neighborhood, that was still being built.Due to current safety guidelines, ticket sales have been limited so it is best to book as soon as you can as they sell out quickly. The film makes use of a very new advent for its time, and at least the main character is very excited. From the first steam whistle to the final ring of the bell, each moment of the trip will be filled with wonder.
