Juniper Junction
Sat Feb 15, 2025 - Sun Feb 23, 2025
- see all dates
Repeating every days through February 23, 2025.
10:00am to 4:00pm CT
Age: 2-8
Price: Free with Arboretum Admission
Visit The Morton Arboretum to see Juniper Junction, a large-scale model train display at the Arboretum’s Firefly Pavilion. Large-scale model railroading uses trains that are significantly larger than standard model railroading. Also called “garden railroads,” large-scale model railroads offer a captivating landscape for viewers of all ages to enjoy.
Children will be immersed in a world of trains and buildings built to their scale, while adults admire the true-to-life details and expert craftsmanship. Juniper Junction is assembled and run in partnership with the LGB Model Railroad Club of Chicago.
