The adventure has only begun!

On your way to or from the North Pole on the Polar Express Train Ride be sure to stop by area downtown businesses and the Shops at Canal Place to take advantage of their Golden Ticket Promotions. Businesses throughout the downtown area and Canal Place are ready to great the Polar Express passengers with special deals and delights. Special promotions are listed here and all you need to do is to present your golden ticket either on your phone or your actual ticket at participating businesses. You may not be able to go to the North Pole frequently but we do hope to see you here often! Some specific rules may apply at each location.
