You Will Believe After Seeing This Real Life Polar Express

The Polar Express may be one of the best modern day Christmas movies, with beautiful visuals and a roller coaster of a train ride. While we unfortunately can't take the trip on the train ourselves, the Baltimore B&O Railroad Museum does recreate the magical ride to the North Pole for kids of all ages.

Kids are invited to dress up in their pajamas, as though being picked up in the middle of the night. How fun is that, getting to wear your pajamas and go on a magical journey?

They even take great care to get a conductor that looks exactly the same as the one played by Tom Hanks in the film! He even has his watch letting him know what time it is and how long they have until they can meet Santa before he has to leave.

Everyone is given a stamped ticket, though be careful not to lose it. The consequences are not that favorable!

They even have the dancing chefs, who serve some of the best hot chocolate and cookies that you can imagine.

In fact, most of the characters make an appearance, even the ghostly visage that appears to the young boy who reminds him to "believe."

It all culminates with them arriving to meet Santa who, so no kid feels left out, gives out the first gift of Christmas to every kid that attended, a sleigh bell. As long as you believe you will always be able to hear the bell jingle.

And while tickets are sold out this year, you can still visit the museum for a beautiful winter wonderland! Just make sure to keep an eye on the page for tickets next year, and never forget to "believe."
