The Polar Express set to stop at the historic Astra Theatre on Saturday, December 3

The Polar Express will be pulling into station at the Astra Theatre once again this Christmas season. The 2004 film, based on Chris Van Allsburg’s beloved children’s book, will play on the big screen on Saturday, December 3 for a 3:00 matinee showing.

The doors will open at 2:00 pm, with the featured film scheduled to begin at 3:00 pm. There will be dancing elves, The Polar Express conductor punching tickets, and a special guest visit by Santa Claus! So, plan to arrive early to enjoy the treats and take advantage of all the great photo opportunities. 

Pajamas are encouraged in an effort to fully immerse oneself into the story. So, get your favorite festive pajamas out, gather up the family, and start the Christmas season with an inspiring adventure to the North Pole. By the time you leave the theatre, you will no doubt “Believe.” 

Get your tickets now and make plans to attend the show before the train departs the station for another year.  The film is rated G, with a run-time of 1 hour and 40 minutes.
