The Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History is bringing back its popular Polar Express Adventure this December. The special holiday event is scheduled from 6-10 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 7, 2013. The Polar Express Adventure follows the City of Kennesaw’s annual Christmas celebration, parade and tree lighting ceremony.
Upon entering the Museum, attendees will meet a train conductor and a hobo before having the opportunity to create holiday crafts and watch elves make toys in their holiday shop in the Museum’s Glover Machine Works exhibit. They will also be able to write a letter to Santa and meet the jolly fellow himself during the evening.
“Kids of all ages will enjoy the opportunity to make Christmas crafts and meet Santa in person,” said Kelly Briscoe, the Southern Museum’s event coordinator. “We are looking forward to being a part of our visitors’ holiday traditions.”
Hot chocolate and light refreshments will be served. A holiday-themed model train layout will also be on display during the event.
The Museum will be closing at 3 p.m. on Dec. 7 to prepare for the event. While tickets will be available on the day of the event, space is limited and tickets may be purchased in advance at the Museum. GEICO is the title sponsor for the event, while the Acworth location of Home Depot serves as the secondary sponsor.
The museum is offering special pricing for the event. Tickets for adults and seniors are $5, children (4-12) are $3 and Infants (3 and under) are free.
