Believe! THE POLAR EXPRESS™ is a brand new, truly magical, multi-room immersive walkthrough experience that brings the enchanting world of the beloved movie to life in a whole new way.

This a fully immersive Christmas WALKTHROUGH experience inspired by the timeless holiday classic is coming to the O2 Victoria Warehouse in Manchester from 14 November to 31 December 2025.

Step INTO the Story… The experience begins in the comfort of Hero Boy’s bedroom before stepping into the iconic THE POLAR EXPRESS™ carriage as a passenger. Along the journey, guests will pass through magical landscapes including the Caribou Forest, icy lakes and a dazzling Northern Lights display—culminating in a breathtaking arrival at the North Pole.

On your way, you’ll encounter beloved characters such as the Conductor, Hero Boy, Hero Girl, and the mysterious Hobo. Get your golden ticket punched, enjoy complimentary hot chocolate and a delicious cookie, and take part in interactive storytelling and festive cheer.

At the North Pole, the magic continues:

• Join the joyful Pyjama Party
• Visit the Letter Writing Station and send a note to Santa
• Discover your fate in the Naughty or Nice Machine
• Craft a special Christmas decoration to take home
•  And, of course, meet Santa himself

Photo opportunities are available throughout the experience, creating perfect moments to remember this holiday season. Kids are encouraged to wear their pyjamas to fully embrace the spirit of the story!
