There will be rides for the children on Ol‘ Smoky plus the running of electric powered trains in the garden. Our indoor layout and other displays will be in operation too.

Stop at Strawberry Junction for a fresh strawberry and whipped cream dish.

Many new features have been added to enhance the outdoor layout for this event, to include the start of the construction of the Town of Skagway, Alaska. Come and see a working 4” diameter turntable and shops plus a radio controlled boom crane on the docks at Lynn Canal.
