The annual model train show is taking place at the Mitchell Park Domes through the end of March 2017. The Domes always feature the trains between the holiday floral show and the spring floral show. It’s a lot of fun and just perfect for winter and early spring when we’re all looking for something to do outside of the house that doesn’t involve freezing outdoors. The theme for the current train show is The Great Train Robbery. They decked out the entire dome in an old West theme. I love it.
The Great Train Robbery Train Show runs through the end of March 2017. The Mitchell Park Domes are always free on Monday mornings from 9:00 a.m.-noon except major holidays for Milwaukee County residents. Consult the website for more details about current hours, admission, and upcoming special events.

Not a Creature Was Stirring Holiday Floral Show
I love this. I remember as a kid going to a train show every year with my dad. It wasn’t this big though.
Love this theme for the model trains. Great pictures and that location certainly beats seeing trains just lined up on a table.
How fun!!! This would be such a fun event to go to. Wish we had something like this in my area.
My dad always used to take me to see train displays when I was a kid – so cool! My favorite was at an arboretum and was made of all natural materials.
