About this event
Celebrate the holiday season with Holly Jolly Days, a family-friendly tradition filled with fun and fascinating attractions at the Behringer-Crawford Museum from Nov. 14 through Jan. 10. This year marks the 35th annual Holiday Toy Trains display, featuring eight O-gauge Lionel model trains traveling along 250 feet of track alongside 30 moving accessories. With the push of a button, become part of the animated display, call a firefighter into action as he slides down a pole, bring miniature animals to life and even activate a cow-abducting UFO. Just around the corner, discover Wahoo’s Winter Wonderland, a spectacular animated holiday display inspired by local author Diana Grady’s children’s book, "The Holiday Adventures of Wiley Wahoo and Me." Follow Wiley the dog on his mischievous winter adventure through miniature versions of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky landmarks. In addition, explore "Think Small: Anything Can Be a Miniature," featuring Robert Haven’s intricately detailed room boxes crafted from repurposed objects. Plan to visit and enjoy a holiday experience filled with miniature marvels, interactive displays and festive joy!
What to expect
The Holiday Toy Trains run eight O-gauge Lionel trains over 250 feet of track, with 30 moving accessories. Push a button and a firefighter slides down his pole, miniature animals come to life, or a UFO abducts a cow. Around the corner is Wahoo's Winter Wonderland, based on Diana Grady's children's book "The Holiday Adventures of Wiley Wahoo and Me." It follows Wiley the dog through miniature Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky landmarks.
Why go
This is a long-running local tradition with hands-on displays that keep kids busy, and the trains have a nostalgic pull for adults. Adults can also spend time with "Think Small: Anything Can Be a Miniature," Robert Haven's detailed room boxes made from repurposed objects. The museum sits in Devou Park, which makes for a calm holiday outing on the Kentucky side of the river.
