There's a Polar Express train ride about 2.5 hours away from us. It looks really fun and I'm looking to start some holiday traditions (we're not religious so this would be perfect), but not sure how much my toddler would get out of it. She'll be around 16.5 months if we decide to do it. The ride lasts about an hour. Here's a description:

"Dancing chefs deliver hot chocolate and a cookie to each guest to savor while music from The Polar Express movie plays en route to the North Pole. Before arriving at the North Pole, the iconic book, The Polar Express is read as your Chef turns the pages to share the beautiful illustrations in the original book. The Polar Express magically arrives at the outskirts of Santa’s North Pole village, where Santa Claus himself and his elves joyously welcome the train! As you stay comfortably settled and warm in your seat, Santa and his helper elf board the train! During the return trip, Santa will greet each child with his signature holiday spirit and the first gift of Christmas: a bell cut from his sleigh."

Has anyone done one of these train rides? Would you do it with a 16-month-old? The tickets are already selling out on some dates so I need to decide soon. Thanks!
