The poinsettias are blooming and the trains are back on track. All aboard the Holiday Express!

Enjoy large-scale model trains chugging through a festive scene overflowing with hundreds of poinsettias and fresh evergreens. Each year, Olbrich’s horticulturists design and carefully construct a unique environment for visitors to explore. The 2022 Holiday Express will feature a carnival theme.

During the show, members of the Wisconsin Garden Railway Society come from all over the state to show off their large-scale model trains. Depending on the day, you might see a bullet train, steam train, Santa train, circus train, or freight train.
