About
Christopher Robin just moved to London from his house in the country and misses his former home. Despite a new friend knocking on the door and asking him to play, Christopher Robin prefers to shut himself in and not play with anyone. His father, A.A. Milne, has another plan and tells him the story of a bear named Winnie-the-Pooh living in the hundred-acre woods. These stories of friendship and adventure inspire a change in perspective, an opportunity for play, and a new friendship to bloom in the city.
A brand new program for our youngest visitors, their caregivers, and their stuffed animals!
Our newest program for young visitors, their caregivers, and their stuffed animals returns this holiday season!
Would your child’s stuffie like to explore the Mansion with host Ruffi the (stuffie) Museum Cat? Bring your stuffed animal friend from home to join us for a story time and a look around the Mansion on December 11th at 4:30pm.
Then, leave your stuffed animal with Ruffi and our museum staff for a Mansion stuffie sleepover! Photos of all their fun activities will be shared with participants when they pick up their stuffies in the morning on December 12th.
Tickets are $5 per child & stuffed animal with accompanying adult. Tickets are limited due to capacity. Tickets will go on sale in late November – stay tuned!

THIS is the Polar Express!
All aboard…. to the North Pole!
Maine Narrow Gauge warmly invites you to experience the Polar Express™ Train Ride! This magical train runs on select dates every holiday season.
The Polar Express™ Train Ride is the largest annual fundraiser for the Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Co. & Museum. This theatrically-driven Christmas train has become an annual tradition for thousands of families, drawing over 23,000 passengers in 2023!
The fun begins at Portland’s Ocean Gateway Marine Terminal. Browse holiday and train-themed souvenirs. Before you know it, an enchanting scene is enacted at the station with live actors – they set the scene before your journey to the North Pole and invite you to come on the train.
The Conductor boards passengers onto the nine historic passenger coaches decked out for the holidays. Once on board, children are handed authentic golden tickets by the Conductor. Costumed chefs appear and serve hot chocolate and cookies to everybody on the train. Christmas music fills the cars as the steam locomotive blows its whistle, the wheels start turning, and your roundtrip ride to the North Pole begins.
Once at the North Pole, a very special guest boards the train and hands out the first gift of Christmas. The train begins its return journey back to Portland. Upon arrival, the atmosphere feels a little more magical, and passengers are inspired to believe in things that they can’t see.
The Polar Express™ Train Ride is staffed by volunteers and is the largest annual fundraiser for the Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Co. & Museum. Thank you for your support! Your ticket purchase contributes to the continuity of our entirely unique historic railroad.
Presidential Class details: Passengers riding “Presidential Class” receive our most deluxe level of service! These passengers enjoy premium individual cushioned seating, get a commemorative limited-edition ceramic mug to remember their train ride, and can take home a copy of the Polar Express book signed by Santa Claus, on loan from the North Pole Library. (1 copy per grouping of 4 [or fewer] guests).
First Class passengers get to ride in one of Maine Narrow Gauge’s restored turn-of-the-century train cars (with individual padded seating), as well as receive a limited-edition ceramic mug as a unique souvenir of their train ride to the North Pole.
All passengers get the experience of riding on a brilliantly decorated train powered which may be powered by an authentic steam engine, as well as receive hot chocolate, a cookie, a brief visit from Santa, and the first gift of Christmas – a silver sleigh bell.
Are you interested in volunteering? Please contact Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad if you want to play a part of this very special magical event! Contact [email protected].
Be ready to board at least 20 minutes prior to the train’s departure! The Polar Express™ Train Ride leaves exactly on time.
Unfortunately, we cannot hold the train for any latecomers. We have a very tight schedule to keep to get everyone to the North Pole and back in time for Christmas!
An entire train car may be rented for your party, depending on availability. However, no group discount is available at this time.
