Special Events & Train Rides 

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO CAME TO EXPERIENCE NORTH POLE EXPRESS 2021. We are looking forward to seeing you again in Spring/Summer 2022.  Please stay safe.

 

Dec 13, 2021:

RMEO, in consultation with the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Health Unit, has decided to cancel the final train rides of the North Pole Express 2021, scheduled for this Saturday, December 18. RMEO has taken this step with the safety and well-being of staff, volunteers and visitors in mind.

All pre-booked/prepaid tickets will be refunded shortly. 

We hope you will visit again, when we are open in Spring/Summer 2022 for tours, demonstrations, train rides, and more. Follow us on Facebook or the RMEO website (http://www.rmeo.org/).

We wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season.

Sincerely, RMEO Directors and Volunteers

RMEO presents NORTH POLE EXPRESS 2021.

POSTPONEMENT OF DEC 11th NORTH POLE EXXPRESS 2021

Due to the freezing rain that continues to fall, the RMEO directors have made the decision to POSTPONE today’s, Dec 11th North Pole Express. It will be held next Saturday, December 18th.

All tickets will be honoured. If you are unable to attend next Saturday, December 18, please request a refund, as soon as possible, on the Eventbrite website and we will issue you a full refund.

Please be safe.

 

We have added a extra day of train rides on Dec. 11th!

We look forward to welcoming our many friends for the final run of the North Pole Express of 2021. This extra run day was added due to overwhelming demand for a festive family experience.
