Visitors to the Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum love the North Pole Express. This ride is the most popular attraction of the museum, providing a magical Christmas experience. The ride offers an imposing sight with decorated holiday lights, visits from Santa and Mrs. Claus, and many exciting activities for families with kids. Although tickets sell out quickly when they are made available in July, the Calera & Shelby Train is a favorite among train enthusiasts as well. It offers scenic views of the Alabama forests and historic scenic areas. Show more
