What Is TrainTastic’s Polar Experience?
Get ready for the return of The Polar Experience at TrainTastic a family-favorite holiday event in Gulfport, MS that captures the magic of Christmas through festive train rides, cozy pajamas, and hot cocoa under the glow of holiday lights. This beloved event sells out quickly each year, so early ticket purchases are encouraged to secure your spot on this unforgettable holiday adventure.
A Magical Journey for Families
The Polar Experience transforms TrainTastic into a world of holiday wonder. Children and adults are invited to wear their coziest pajamas and join an evening filled with lights, laughter, and the joyful sounds of the season.
Guests can take part in themed crafts, explore 50,000 square feet of hands-on exhibits, and ride through a wintery train display that makes the night feel straight out of a storybook. The entire museum glows with festive decor, setting the perfect scene for family photos and lasting memories.
This event is designed to be intimate and immersive, with a limited number of guests each evening. Unlike the larger Holiday Lights 2025 event, The Polar Experience offers a more personal, small-group setting where families can slow down, connect, and fully enjoy the magic of the season.
Keepsakes, Cocoa, and Christmas Cheer
No TrainTastic holiday would be complete without a little extra sparkle. Each child under 12 receives a special keepsake bell and a free 6×8 photo to remember the evening.
Families can warm up with hot cocoa, enjoy holiday snacks, and take part in crafts and activities that make the experience even more interactive. For those who want to soak in the full nostalgia, The Polar Experience movie will be playing throughout the evening – a perfect backdrop for this cozy, heartwarming celebration.
