Arctic Express in Grayslake

All aboard! Inspired by the beloved children’s book, the Gurnee Park District invites you to a truly magical holiday adventure featuring a festive train ride full of fun along the way.

Once there, a very jolly special guest from the North will hop aboard for a festive visit and personally present each child with a gift. Then sit back, relax and enjoy the cheerful ride home after a truly unforgettable holiday experience.

Every passenger, big and small, must be registered to board this festive adventure, and all children must be accompanied by a ticketed adult. All trains depart from the Grayslake Train Station (Lake and St. Paul streets).
