Polar Express

Everyone loves the original movie the Polar Express, so experience it for yourself in a vintage trolley located in Calverton. This one-hour train ride gives people of all ages the experience to relive this famous holiday movie. Served with hot chocolate and delicious cookies, and greeted with a gift this experience for a child over 6 years of age is 60 dollars and for an adult is also 60 dollars.  Only going until December 23, this experience runs every hour. With a surprise from Santa and a gift, the polar express can be a great way to celebrate this holiday season.  

Holiday Light Show

Until December 31st, you can visit the holiday light show located in Riverhead. This fun activity features a series of lights of different colors, patterns, and shapes that are different in every show. From different Santa Claus lights to candy canes, these music-synced lights change to different songs. Upon arrival, a radio station is shown so all cars can tune in. The holiday light show is a drive-in with each car being 25 dollars. Tickets can be bought online or in person (only during the week) but if you wish to go many times you can even buy a season pass for $62.50. A season pass gives you the option to go whenever you want, unlike just buying tickets where you need to pick a date and time online. When visiting this experience, photos are allowed but you are not able to get out of your vehicle.  

The Hamptons have many activities to offer throughout the holiday season. So enjoy celebrating, and Merry Christmas, WHB!
