Holiday Garden Railway
Through December 31, 2020
The annual Holiday Garden Railway brings a mini winter wonderland to a historic arboretum, with a quarter-mile of track where G-scale model trains chug along through loops, tunnels and over bridges, zipping past perfect little replicas of beloved Philadelphia landmarks. Advance tickets for daytime visitation include the Holiday Garden Railway display.
For those who would like to see the Holiday Garden Railway by night, you can reserve a separate ticket for Holiday Garden Railway Nights, which returns this year for TEN evenings on Saturday and Sunday nights, beginning on Thanksgiving weekend through December 27, from 4:30 – 7:30pm. Lighted trees and colored cone lights pave the way to the twinkling outdoor railway site.
Advance tickets are required for a daytime visit and the special Holiday Garden Railway Nights. For more information and to purchase tickets visit our website. |
