Get Ready to Board The Polar Express!

The Polar Express returns once again to Grosse Pointe Woods, taking children, parents and guests on an exclusive and magical ride.

Passengers on The Polar Express (heated GPW park buses) will depart from the Community Center for a tour of brightly decorated houses throughout the Grosse Pointes, while listening to the Polar Express story on their way to the "North Pole."

Upon arrival, guests will enjoy hot cocoa and cookies. Boys and girls will get to meet with Santa Claus and share their wish lists, and they'll take home a sleigh bell souvenir.
