North Pole Express

Top View

Santa is coming to town!!!


Tis' the Season to see the Holiday Lights all throughout downtown NYC and why not do it in style? Top View is here to take you on a journey that will last about 90 minutes in real time but a lifetime in our memories. 

We hopped on the fully decorated double decker bus right at Bryant Park and we started our journey from there. We say all the Holiday Lights including the Rockefeller Christmas Tree and the Saks Fifth Avenue lights show, what a view! Our kids (almost 6 and almost 2) stayed in their seats and watched all the decorations as we drove by them all while the elves on the bus sang and brought us all hot coco to drink and cookies to eat! We were warm and cozy with the blankets we were gifted, every ticket holder receives a warm blaket and a santa hat as they board, it made the experience that much more cozy. 

We sang carrols together, waved at the people on the street, felt the holiday spirit, wrote letters to Santa and even got to see the big guy himself! He somehow got his reindeer to coordinate with the bus because the elves flashed their lights in the sky and Santa appeared from a cloud of magical North Pole smoke-my kids were impressed. 

Santa sang, danced and gave out gifts to everyone on the bus. He was very kind to take his time with all the children on the bus, our kids were shy at first but Santa has his ways and he was able to get a few giggles out of them. 

I hope you get to experience this ride with your family, as it was a very memorable one for us! Get your tickets here. 

Happy Holidays from our family to yours!
