A wonderful, magical experience
Great Smoky Mountains Railroad的点评
点评:Thank you for a wonderful experience! My family and I took our first Polar Express ride on November 23, 2025 and I highly recommend. Reading of the story, Singing/Dancing, hot cocoa served at the perfect temperature, a chocolate chip cookie, a Golden ticket, a visit to the North Pole complete with lighted houses/bakery, dancing elves and a visit from santa who hands each child a silver bell (adults are handed a bell by the staff) all combine for a perfect , magical experience.
I would suggest arriving at least an hour before departure time as there are several photo ops, a Polar Express store, a model train museum and shop, live music, s'mores (additional cost) and several more stores/booths as well as a booth to get photos with Santa.
We look forward to making this an annual trip for our granddaughter who is just 2 months old.
We ordered merchandise when tickets were purchased and we picked those items up at the register in the museum shop.
When entering the plaza/depot area, look for a sign that will tell you what boarding station you will need to find when it is time to board the train; this is listed by the name of the car that you purchased tickets for (pic attached).
翻译:感谢你们带来如此美妙的体验!我和家人于2025年11月23日第一次乘坐了极地特快列车,我强烈推荐!故事朗读、歌舞表演、温度适宜的热可可、巧克力曲奇、金奖券、参观北极(包括灯光璀璨的房屋/面包房、翩翩起舞的小精灵,以及圣诞老人亲自给每个孩子送上银铃铛(成人铃铛由工作人员递上)),所有这些都完美地融合在一起,构成了一次神奇的体验。
我建议至少提前一小时到达,因为那里有很多拍照点、极地特快商店、火车模型博物馆和商店、现场音乐、烤棉花糖(需额外付费)以及其他一些商店/摊位,还有一个可以和圣诞老人合影的摊位。
我们期待着每年都带我们两个月大的孙女来体验一次。
我们在购票时就预订了纪念品,然后在博物馆商店的收银台取货。
进入广场/车站区域时,请寻找指示牌,上面会告诉你上车时需要找到哪个登车站;登车站的名称与你购买车票的车厢名称相同(附图)。
