A favorite area holiday tradition<br />
for kids of all ages (including<br />
the adults!) is the Polar Express<br />
Train excursion at the Great<br />
Smoky Mountains Railroad.<br />
More than 80,000 passengers<br />
rode last year!<br />
Dates: November 10-December<br />
31, 2017 (no trains Nov 12-16,<br />
Thanksgiving, 27, 28, Christmas<br />
Day)<br />
The 1.25-hour round-trip excursion<br />
departs the Bryson City<br />
depot (see other things to do in<br />
Bryson City) for a journey over<br />
the river and through the woods<br />
to the North Pole.<br />
as in the story, their own silver<br />
sleigh bell. Bring your camera!<br />
Sing Christmas carols as you<br />
return back to the Depot.<br />
The Polar Express is a popular<br />
book by Chris Van Allsburg<br />
about a magical train ride on<br />
Christmas Eve, taking a young<br />
boy to the North Pole to receive<br />
a special gift from Santa Claus.<br />
It has become a contemporary<br />
holiday classic, with over 6 million<br />
copies sold worldwide. In<br />
2004, the Academy Award-winning<br />
team of Tom Hanks and<br />
director Robert Zemeckis created<br />
a wonderful animated movie<br />
version.<br />
