All aboard for a magical — and sensory-friendly — holiday adventure!

Join us on Friday, December 5th for Cognition’s Polar Express Experience, where the beloved story comes to life through gentle, hands-on fun and festive activities designed with all children in mind.

Step into the adventure with:

• A cozy reading of The Polar Express (your story time will be assigned at check-in to help with crowd flow)
• Warm cocoa and sweet treats, with quiet areas available for snack breaks
• A calm, creative ornament craft to take home
• A jingle bell science station with sensory-friendly options
• Optional photos with Santa in a calm, low-stimulus setting — no flashing lights or loud sounds

Each child will receive a special bell, and each family will take home a copy of The Polar Express.

Choose your time slot: Sensory Friendly 2–3:30 PM, 4–5:30 PM, or 6–7:30 PM

Tickets:
$30 per child (adults included)* | $25 for members
$10 for each additional sibling* ( must be in the same household)

Wear your favorite pajamas and get ready to believe!

**Please note: Children 12 months and under are free ONLY when attending with a paid sibling and will not receive event materials. If you would like your infant to participate in activities, such as making a craft, receiving a bell, or taking home a book, a paid child ticket is required regardless of age.
