What's New?

All aboard for Jr. Railroad!

Jr. Railroad presents 12 small-scale trains traveling all-American landscapes—from coast to coast. A new feature is a Chicago scene with the John Hancock Building.

More than 20 historic landmarks are intricately crafted of natural materials such as vines, leaves and twigs. These include the White House, the Seattle Space Needle and several national parks.

See this tiny but tremendous railway from June 7 to October 26. Admission is $3 for adults and $1 for children. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Junior Railroad is sponsored by SBC and Smart Yellow Pages.

See more photos of Jr. Railroad.

Virtual Tour

Take a virtual tour of Jr. Railroad. (You will need QuickTime VR to view this panorama.)

Then visit the Garden to see this year’s new and improved Jr. Railroad in person!
