The information below comes from the Park District of Highland Park.

The Park District of Highland Park invited families to the Polar Express Train Ride on Dec. 3 and 8. A storyteller read “Polar Express,” by Chris VanAllsburg. Santa waited at the North Pole, which, who knew, is actually Waukegan. The children were served hot chocolate, were able to write letters to Santa and got a visit from him as well.

Check out photos from the train ride above.
