Wonderland Express at the Chicago Botanic Garden in Glencoe
Kick off your holiday season this year by taking the family to the Chicago Botanic Gardens' Wonderland Express.
Can you imagine 750,000 glittering lights (energy conserving, of course) welcoming you to the Chicago Botanic Garden's Wonderland Express transforming the gardens into a magical winter wonderland. Visitors will first glimpse the lights along the Edens Expressway and along Lake Cook Road.
The Regenstein Center will have a 10,000 sq ft exhibition of miniature trains that wind along waterfalls, bridges and countryside while passing by 80 mini replicas of favorite Chicago landmarks including Navy Pier, Soldier Field, Chicago Stadium, Millenium Park and the Field Museum. A new surprise for this year will be a replica of the Stanley Cup - celebrating the Blackhawk's win. Realistic snow falls during the exhibition making the entire display a magical combination of trains, decorated plants, and architecture.
There will be four special events:
