The Polar Bear Express has delighted children of all ages for the past 12 years. Families have been gathering at
Fishers Station to hear the Chris Van Allsburg story "The Polar Express" which recounts a child's magical train ride to the North Pole to visit Santa. A spirited reading by personnel from the Fishers Library, along with visuals, will tell the story of the child's adventure. A real train ride follows the reading.
Please plan to arrive 15 minutes before the selected story
time and enter the Fishers Station located at 11601 Municipal Drive, Fishers, IN
46308 (116th Street, 1 mile west of the I-69 interchange). The reading will take place in the Community Room.
Free parking is available at the station.

bell, as the train travels to the south edge of Noblesville and back. The story and train ride will take approximately 1.5 hours.
