Tickets are now available for the journey to the North Pole and back

The Polar Express, offered by the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad, takes riders on a magical trip in their pajamas based on the award wining book and movie.

Spokeswoman Kelly Steele says taking a ride on the Polar Express gives everyone a holiday experience to remember.

"Over a thousand elves that we borrow from the North Pole come down and help us entertain the families on the way to the North Pole. We sip our hot cocoa and have a cookie on the way. Hear the stories on the Polar Express," says Steele.

Spokeswoman Kelly Steele says tickets for the Polar Express go by fast, especially on weekends. She recommends if you are flexible with your schedule, you can get tickets pretty easily.

Tickets will be available online on Monday, Oct. 3 at 6 a.m. on www.cvsr.com. The Polar Express will run from November 17 to December 20.
