Climb aboard the Polar Express and meet memorable characters from the film as you race across train tops, ride runaway rail cars, and sort through mountains of presents. Explore massive 3D environments including the North Pole and The Polar Express. Interact with recognizable characters from the movie, including Hero Girl, Know-it-All, Lonely Boy, Hero Boy, the Hobo, Smokey & Steamer and the Elves.
