Experience the Magic of “The Polar Express”  at The Jackson Theatre

The Chuckey Depot Railroad Museum invites families to embark on a magical journey to the North Pole with a special screening of “The Polar Express” on Saturday, December 6, and Sunday, December 7, at 3 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. at The Jackson Theatre located at 121 West Main Street.

This beloved holiday tradition transforms Jackson Theatre into a festive railway “station” where passengers of all ages can experience the wonder of this classic Christmas tale. The event includes much more than just the film; it’s a complete holiday experience for families.

Each ticket includes a warm cookie, a cup of frothy hot chocolate, a special post-movie visit with Santa Claus, a personal gift for every passenger, and photo opportunities with Santa.

Guests are encouraged to wear their favorite pajamas and join in singing along to the movie’s memorable songs, creating an authentic “Polar Express” experience.

Tickets are $15.00 per person, with each guest receiving the complete experience regardless of age. Due to the event’s popularity, pre-booking is strongly recommended.
