Visited the polar express experience last year and couldn’t resist booking again for this year. Such a fantastic family experience. Due to some concerns regarding recent surgery we contemplated cancelling the experience. I decided to call and spoke to a very helpful assistant called Samantha. I am so pleased I called and explained our situation, Samantha provided with all the assistance and advice we required to help us attend without any concerns. Thank you Samantha for being a superstar! Part 2 - we attended the event on Sunday 21st and the service we received was second to none, everything that was discussed over the phone was delivered. A special mention to Chris, not just a car park attendant, he went out of his way to assist us through the venue and safely onto the train. He kept a look out for us and we were fully assisted. Our experience was amazing and it’s with a huge thank to all the wonderful people that work at the Embsay station for making this happen for us. I would highly recommend this venue for any occasion. Excellent value for money and cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
