The annual seasonal train exhibit, All Aboard! Trains at Science Park, set returns on November 20 and run through January 20, 2025.

Bigger and more magical than before, the expanded exhibit features miniature landscapes with model trains and new interactive experiences that will delight visitors of all ages.

All Aboard! Trains at Science Park transports guests into a whimsical world where powered model trains of various scales wind through vibrant, intricately crafted scenes.

Expert model makers, including John Goodson of The Mandalorian fame, have spent countless hours creating stunning details, from tiny trees to beloved Boston landmarks like the Museum of Science, the Custom House, and the iconic Zakim Bridge.

This year, floor-to-ceiling projections immerse visitors in a wintery wonderland as they explore the model train displays and hands-on activities.

A larger and enhanced area for young learners features a child-sized locomotive and ticket booth, table-top train sets, and the chance to drive a virtual train through a snowy mountain landscape.

Additionally, visitors can conduct their own train symphony and admire a scale model of the Museum of Science, constructed by local university students.

Complementing the exhibit, the Museum will offer guests more holiday-themed fun in its theaters. The Mugar Omni Theater will be showing the captivating film Train Time, while the 4-D Theater will delight audiences with the classic Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer 4-D.

Presented in English and in Spanish.

There is an audio version of the printed label text and brief audio descriptions of the pieces in this temporary exhibition.
