Hello! Please contact the museum via phone or email and we will get back to you with any questions you may have.

Hi I’m sorry we only went to the park. We didn’t experience the train. Enjoy your trip!

If you bought the tickets online, unlikely. However, better to just go there and get the tickets since there are not that many visitors anyway and not likely to be crowded.

Thank you for asking about our admissions information for the West Coast Railway Association. The terms of use of the Trip Advisor website do not permit us to post web links as you have requested. I might ask that you google West Coast Railway Association (WCRA) and go to the Hours and Location tab under the Heritage Park landing page to get the information you are requesting. Our admission prices are: Admission: $25 Seniors 65+: $20 Students 10+: $15 Children 2–9: $8 Family (2 adults, 3 children/students) $70 Minirail (mid April–mid Sept.) $5 I am hoping this helps. The WCRA website has other information of help regarding our events, memberships and activities at the museum. We look forward to seeing you soon at the Railway Heritage Park in Squamish, BC.

Yes, Polar Express is certainly a round trip - with lots of the original movie characters to entertain (wait till you meet the conductor as he punches your golden ticket !!!), enjoy hot chocolate, cookies and sing songs enroute. The train ride itself is about 40-45 minutes long, returning to the start point where a short walk will take you to Santa's Village and the North Pole. Plan to spend a couple of hours at the North Pole and the Ice Cave after the train ride is finished so that you can see and participate in all the fun things there. And of course, Santa and Mrs. Claus will be waiting to spend a few minutes with each and every child. Ken Tanner

The Polar Express event comprises a 45 min train ride, followed by a visit to Santa's Village and all the activities in the Ice Cave ! It is a perfect experience for families, and wonderful for kids in the 2-10 year-old age range. Watch the movie before you come, as what you will experience replicates the characters and train ride in the movie. Plan to be here for about 2-3 hours in order to see and join in everything. Getting to Squamish from Whistler without a car is probably best arranged through the Greyhound Bus company. They have a morning trip down and afternoon returns. Take a cab from the Squamish Bus Terminal to the West Coast Railway Park - a 2 km ride. Hope to see you on one of the four weekends that Polar Express will be running ! Go to the WCRA website to check on train departure times and availability. Ken Tanner

You are welcome to join us at Day Out With Thomas by purchasing a "Park Access" pass for $20 at the will call desk on the day of the event. This pass enables you to enjoy all the other activities at the park, excepting the train ride with Thomas itself. Park Access passes are not sold in advance - only available on-site on the day of the event. Ken
