Embark on a magical holiday excursion with Rutgers in Warren County this December!
Join us for a festive 90-minute trip aboard a beautifully decorated train where you’ll experience a choreographed retelling of the holiday classic, The Polar Express. Enjoy a comfortable seat in a restored train car reserved exclusively for Rutgers alumni, and celebrate the season with a visit from Santa Claus as he passes through.
All guests, children and adults, will receive hot chocolate and cookies, as well as a cozy Rutgers beanie!
This is a ticketed event; walk-ins will not be accepted on the day of the program. Space is extremely limited for this opportunity; register early to secure your spot! Registration closes December 1 at 11:59 PM.
