Kids of all ages love the Garden Railway at Longwood Gardens

Longwood Gardens is a very festive travel destination during the holiday season.   A Longwood Christmas is the annual display that attracts many families at this time of the year.   The 1,000+ acres of gardens and the world class Conservatory are wonderful at any time of the year; but, a visit to see and enjoy A Longwood Christmas is a very special occasion.

The Garden Railway is a special feature that you and other kids of all ages will not want to miss.  This outdoor display is located just past the Main Fountain Garden at location 11 on the Longwood Gardens Outdoor Gardens Map.

Enjoy the holidays and be sure to have a camera in hand for those special moments.  You may wish to capture some photos of a model train exhibit.

Best wishes for good health, continued success and much happiness in 2012!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I love garden railroads. We have a real nice one here but it's actually at a garden nursery. In the spring there sometimes is a tour of all the garden railroads in San Diego County. I've never been on it, though, because it costs too much.

Roy, this brings back memories of many years ago. We had a place on old 22 pass Hamburg that had a great train area.

Thanks for stopping by.  We are having a rainy day in Maryland so it is good to have your comments to brighten up the afternoon.  Dolores and I love Longwood Gardens and recommend a visit to you.  If you are not familiar with the Brandywine River area, there are multiple attractions and it is easy to spend several days in the area.

Happy Holidays!  Happy New Year!

Hi Roy, these photos are wonderful. I have been to Longwood as I mentioned but I have never seen the railroad. Is it displayed only over the holidays?

William:  The Garden Railway is also on exhibit at other times of the year.  Check the website when you are planning your visit.
