Plans to redesign the Concourse at Chicago Union Station are underway! Let us know what you think. Take the survey.
Built in 1971 replacing the soaring steel and glass structure that once stood in its place, the Concourse Building at Chicago Union Station was last renovated in 1990 and does not meet the demands of a modern train station nor that of the 110,000 commuter and long-distance passengers that use the station every day. The new design will make more room for passengers and provide a higher level of service and amenities. The renovation will incorporate contemporary thinking around sustainability, inclusivity, and universal design.

Below is a message from The Polar Express to our wonderful group of loyal Polar Express fans. It is unfortunate and we are looking forward to their return in 2023 🤞🏼:

“We regret to announce that despite the diligent work of everyone involved, THE POLAR EXPRESS Train Ride will not operate at Chicago Union Station in 2022.

Due to a systemwide shortage of railroad personnel, there are not enough certified operating crews available to run our train this season. We understand this is an important experience for families and we will do everything we can to return to Chicago in 2023.”

We’re very sorry to announce that due to ongoing issues related to staff illness and cast/crew shortages, we’ve had to cancel the remainder of THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride event at Chicago Union Station. This now includes all departures from Tue, Dec. 21 to Sat, Jan. 1. While this was a very hard decision to make, your family’s safety is our top priority. All attendees who have reserved tickets for this period will receive an automatic refund that will post to your original payment method within 7-10 business days. Thank you for your understanding as we navigate this difficult period during the holiday season. There is no need to contact our call center at this time. We hope you can join us again in the future and have a Merry Christmas.🎄
