Holiday in President’s Park

During your visit to the National Christmas Tree and Santa’s Workshop at President’s Park, be sure to check out additional attractions including nightly musical performances.

While there, visitors are encouraged to also see the National Christmas Tree Railroad. An elaborate electric train display which circles the base of the National Christmas Tree, the National Christmas Tree Railroad has provided special delight for children and adults since 1994.

The trains have expanded each year and now include multiple tracks, trains, bridges and buildings. The trains are installed and maintained each December by volunteers. To each visitor and volunteer we extend our special thanks.
