The “‘Polar Express’ Pajama Parties” on Sat.,
Dec. 19 and Sun., Dec. 20 begin at 9 a.m. with a hot chocolate bar courtesy of
South Norwalk’s renowned Chocopologie Cafe & Bistro. Guests can decorate
their handmade artisan hot chocolate with whipped cream and a selection of
exotic toppings provided by The Village Market in Wilton. Plus, choose from a
delicious spread of holiday cookies by J&L Bakery in Norwalk.
“Pajama Party” partiers also can pose
for photos with the Aquarium’s train conductor and visit with Aquarium educators
whose hands-on displays will explore strategies that animals use to
keep warm in winter – all before the feature-length movie starts at 10
a.m.
“The Polar Express” movie expands on the 1986 Caldecott Award-winning
book by Chris Van Allsburg. The story follows a young boy who doubts
the existence of Santa Claus. On
Christmas Eve, a locomotive magically arrives to take him and other doubtful
children to Santa's North Pole headquarters. Tom Hanks provides the voices of
five characters, including the train conductor and Santa Claus.
“‘Polar
Express’ Pajama Party” tickets are $17 for adults and $15 for kids 3-12 ($15
