Join City of Durango and Bike Durango on World Day of Remembrance 2023 to remember those who have lost their lives or been impacted by roadway crashes in Durango and surrounding areas.   This is a day for community members, advocates, organizations, and local government to gather to commemorate lives who have been affected by traffic violence.   This is also an opportunity to raise awareness of the urgent need for safe streets for everyone.   Everyone can act by being involved in and supporting city projects to improve safety and connectivity for all modes of transportation; by supporting community advocacy groups that provide education for traveling safely and conveniently; and, learning how to be a safe driver, pedestrian, and cyclist.   We will meet at Rotary Park for speeches then a memorial walk and slow ride on the Animas River Trail to Iris park.

Multiple excursions a day! Check our website for specific times.  Experience the magic this holiday season! Join us for a truly magical recreation of the classic holiday story, THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride. Climb aboard a vintage steam train as it departs our Durango Depot for the North Pole to pick up Santa Claus himself. Upon arriving at our depot, you'll be immersed in the story as our chefs serve you hot chocolates and sweet treats while the conductor recites a reading from the Polar Express book. After arriving at the North Pole, you'll enjoy an incredible light show set to holiday music. On the return trip to Durango, Santa will visit each coach and hand out the first gift of Christmas to each passenger.   First told in the award-winning book by Chris Van Allsburg, this is the story of a child's Christmas Eve journey. It was adapted to the big screen in 2003. And now it comes alive each year with THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride! All ages can enjoy the experience, warmth, and fun of the Christmas season on a special steam train trip to the North Pole! Certain dates and car types will sell quickly so you'll want to book soon to reserve your preferred seating!   The Polar Express Train Ride is our most popular event of the year and is an annual holiday tradition for many riders. While the train excursion is roughly 65 minutes in duration, we recommend allowing 2 hours for the entire adventure so you can enjoy the full experience! The weather can be cold at the North Pole, so we recommend layering properly, even though all the cabins are heated aboard the train. As always, we recommend wearing pajamas to capture the Christmas spirit!
