An Immersive Holiday Experience in the Heart of the New York

This holiday season, HERO brings an enchanting winter journey to life at Rockefeller Center – a magical expedition from a hidden train station beneath Manhattan to the Northern Lights!

Come with us on an immersive adventure, as the Northern Lights Express carries kids and adults alike through snow-covered forests and enchanting ice caves, all the way to the mesmerizing Aurora Borealis, without ever leaving New York City!

Board the Northern Lights Express for a journey through wondrous winter landscapes, guided by a charming train conductor. Write your wish in the magical forest, explore crystalline caverns filled with arctic wildlife, bounce through a winter wonderland, and warm up in a cozy mountain chalet with hot cocoa, winter treats, and festive cocktails.

The journey culminates in a breathtaking encounter with the Northern Lights, where guests can interact with the dancing colors of the aurora borealis on a stunning digital canvas above.
