Holiday Toy Trains at Behringer-Crawford Museum

About this adventure

Overlooking the Cincinnati skyline from scenic Devou Park in Covington, Kentucky, the Behringer-Crawford Museum celebrates more than three decades of its beloved Holiday Toy Trains exhibition. Spanning over 250 feet of track, vintage Lionel, Marx, and American Flyer model trains zip through handcrafted winter scenes, complete with snow-capped mountain tunnels, miniature carnival ferris wheels, and bustling holiday villages. Children can press interactive buttons along the layout to sound steam whistles, turn on miniature town streetlamps, and make tiny ice skaters twirl on frozen ponds. The museum also displays intricate handmade LEGO holiday cities and historic Dickens Village ceramic buildings.
