Holidays on the Hill Train Show

Set inside the Glass House Conservatory, the 2,500-square-foot train show features multi-level tables and tracks carrying trains past whimsical, nostalgic scenes surrounded by colorful plants and flowers. Families can meet Santa at his cozy cottage and head out to the Conservatory Plaza to play the Reindeer Games challenge. Visitors can also stop by the expanded pop-up shop to redeem game cards for a prize and browse holiday gifts and treats.

Tips & Advice

  • Present your ticket at the Ticket Booth for scanning; a smartphone ticket works, but it is valid only for its purchased date and time.
  • Arrive on time for your viewing slot, since admission cannot be guaranteed if you arrive at the end of the session.
  • Dress for outdoor weather and wear comfortable walking shoes; part of the program is outdoors, with paved paths between parking and the plaza.
  • Use the Lasdon parking lots during your ticketed session, and be ready to move your vehicle afterward if space is needed for arrivals.
  • Avoid planning Santa or train viewing during the 12–1 p.m. cleaning break; on late nights, both close from 3–4 p.m.
