Visit The Morton Arboretum to explore Juniper Junction, a large-scale model train display at the Arboretum’s Firefly Pavilion from Saturday, February 14, through Sunday, February 22.
Also known as “garden railroads,” large-scale model railroads like Juniper Junction showcase trains much larger than standard models, offering a captivating experience for visitors of all ages. Children will love wandering through a miniature world of trains and buildings built to their scale, while adults admire the intricate, lifelike details.
Juniper Junction is assembled and run in partnership with the LGB Model Railroad Club of Chicago.
Details
Entrance to Juniper Junction is included with Arboretum general admission. No advance registration is required.
The Firefly Pavilion is an indoor-outdoor event space located on the Arboretum’s East Side. Please dress for the weather.
Hot chocolate and coffee from Gigawatt Coffee Roasters will be available for purchase in the Firefly Pavilion on weekends during Juniper Junction (February 14–15 and February 21–22).
