Holiday Garden Railway

November 28 - December 31

The Morris Arboretum’s popular Garden Railway Display is returning again this winter as the 8th Annual Holiday Garden Railway Display. Visitors of all ages will be wow-ed by a quarter mile of track featuring seven loops and tunnels with fifteen different rail lines and two cable cars, nine bridges (including a trestle bridge you can walk under), and bustling G-scale model trains, all set in the lovely winter garden of the Arboretum. The display and buildings are all made of natural materials – bark, leaves, twigs, hollow logs, mosses, acorns, dried flowers, seeds and stones – to form a perfectly proportioned miniature landscape complete with miniature rivers. Each building, while an exact replica of the original, is unique in its design. Philadelphia-area landmarks, such as a masterpiece replica of Independence Hall, are made using pinecone seeds for shingles, acorns as finials and twigs as downspouts.
