Come explore a whimsical world in miniature, replete with a replica of the historic Cabin John Trolley Line, and other local landmarks including the Brookside Gardens Conservatory! Every year the talented team from The Washington, Virginia & Maryland Garden Railway Society dreams up a new design for their dynamic G-scale model train display to be framed with a delightful array of live plants and water features. Come test your skills and see if you can find all the hidden details on our free scavenger hunts! This winter tradition always sparks the imagination and creates magical memories!
