EVENTS Calendar

Families are invited to come in costume and trick-or-treat throughout the Model Railroad Garden to celebrate Halloween and the end of the railroad's season at Trains, Tricks & Treats on Saturday and Sunday, October 24 and 25, 2009.

The Model Railroad Garden will be decorated with spider webs, spiders, ghosts, goblins, and pumpkins, as well as seasonal plant materials. Visitors will see figurines of trick-or-treaters on Main Street, bats and crawly creatures, a graveyard, and more, all tucked among miniature scenes of America's best-loved landmarks and beautiful gardens planted to scale.

An array of small treats and treasures can be picked up throughout the Model Railroad Garden. Children will have the opportunity to pot up a catmint plant.

The cost is $5 for adults and $3 for children ages 3-12. Members save $1.

Event hours are from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m, weather permitting.

Standard parking fees apply.
