The Polar Express Experience

Beginning in November , SeaWorld’s Wild Arctic transforms into the North Pole -- and getting there is half the fun. The Polar Express Experience is based on the film from Warner Bros. Pictures and Shangri-La Entertainment, inspired by the beloved Caldecott Medal children's book by Chris Van Allsburg about a doubting young boy who takes an extraordinary train ride to the North Pole on Christmas Eve. He embarks on a journey of self-discovery that shows the wonder of life never fades for those who believe.

As guests embark on The Polar Express Experience, classic scenes from the movie are recreated in a multi-sensory experience immersing passengers in special lighting, scent, sound and motion effects. Upon arrival at the North Pole, guests will discover a winter wonderland surrounded by holiday cheer and amazing animal encounters.
