Some trains sell out even quicker.Can I dress in my PJs and bring my own Polar Express book?Yes, and Yes. We encourage people who have the book to bring it. While we use a microphone, it is difficult to hear the story if other riders are loud. We do show the pictures to everyone as we read but it will be easier for a child to see the pictures in their own book as well. Many children dress in their PJs but it is not necessary. Whatever the child and parents are most comfortable in will work for the trip. Please dress for the weather, we will still have to wait outside on the train platform for the train and occasionally the train is late. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/ce3ab180-8c0a-11f0-99cd-752bf2e2ddba-rimg-w740-h740-dcffffff-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/wheaton/santa-express-train-3-saturday-december-13-at-11-15a/100001607247112379 - **Event Categories**: Sports - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 26.7, max: 26.7, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Wheaton - **state**: IL - **country**: United States - **location**: Wheaton Metra Station - **lat**: 41.8646794 - **long**: -88.11154210000001 - **full address**: Wheaton Metra Station, 402 W Front St, Wheaton, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Santa Express Train 3 - Saturday, December 13 at 11:15A - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/8a723c5fbf6725300258444435c9ab8b6110e7ebff2c59349f0abe854fd1ff45-rimg-w1200-h900-dcbeab8f-gmir.jpg?v=1757263858 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Santa Express Train 3 - Saturday, December 13 at 11:15A being held? - **A:** Santa Express Train 3 - Saturday, December 13 at 11:15A takes place on Sat, 13 Dec, 2025 at 11:15 am to Sat, 13 Dec, 2025 at 01:00 pm at Wheaton Metra Station, 402 W Front St, Wheaton, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Santa Express Train 3 - Saturday, December 13 at 11:15A? - **A:** Tickets for Santa Express Train 3 - Saturday, December 13 at 11:15A are priced at USD 27 per person.
