Holiday Train Hours

Sensory-Friendly "Silent Nights"
Sensory-friendly "Silent Nights" are offered on Monday evenings. On these evenings, the lights are on, but sound is muted and strobe elements are paused, so the displays can be enjoyed in a peaceful environment that is accommodating to sensory sensitivities.
