About this adventure

Jingle Rails is the Eiteljorg Museum’s indoor holiday train exhibition. The page dates it November 21, 2026 through January 18, 2027. Eight G-scale model trains run over about 1,200 feet of track through miniature scenes of Indianapolis and the American West, built by Applied Imagination from twigs, bark, seeds, and other natural materials. A near-life-size train engine is set up for family photos, and the Allen Whitehill Clowes Sculpture Court has a family activities area. Regular exhibit hours match the museum: Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday noon to 5 p.m., with Saturdays and Sundays in December extended until 7 p.m. The page says the exhibit is included with museum admission, so there is no separate ticket price on this page. Related dates on the same page, including a members-only first look, a sensory morning, and art markets, have their own links and are not folded into this record except where a separate page was opened.
