About this adventure
A Polar Express story program at Lyman Woods Nature Center built around Chris Van Allsburg's picture book. Children sip hot chocolate, make ornaments and take a pretend train adventure, and every passenger goes home with a bell from the story. Two 90-minute sessions run on the same Saturday (10–11:30 a.m. and 1–2:30 p.m.). The fee is per child and an adult must stay; infant siblings under 12 months may come without registering. Suited to preschool and early-elementary children; pajamas optional.
