Aventura Mall Holiday Village & Model Train Station

About this adventure

Aventura Mall's annual holiday installation in northern Miami-Dade is highlighted by the largest indoor holiday model train layout in Florida. Spanning over 100 scale feet of multi-level tracks on the lower level near Bloomingdale's, the elaborate setup features dozens of animated model trains and trolleys winding through snow-capped alpine mountains, over suspension bridges, through bustling winter villages, and past a miniature working carnival with an operating Ferris wheel and roller coaster. Adjacent to the train station, families will discover the 13-foot-tall Storybook Village and the magnificent 60-foot towering holiday tree topped with a glittering Swarovski crystal star. Children can meet Santa Claus inside his enchanting workshop for free meet-and-greets and photos (parents are welcome to snap photos with their own phones). The mall is fully air-conditioned, with wide polished marble walkways, spacious family restrooms, and nursing lounges that make visiting with toddlers and strollers relaxing and enjoyable.
