Holidays on the Hill train show is re-imagined

This year, the Lasdon Holidays on the Hill Annual Train Show is going to another level. Literally. The re-imagined show in the Conservatory at Lasdon Park Arboretum and Veterans Memorial in Somers, has been expanded to more than 5,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor exhibit space.

Starting with a stroll through whimsical holiday scenes leading to the Conservatory, G-scale trains will be chugging along on nine multi-level tracks, over bridges, under tunnels and through colorful holiday plants. Santa will be available to meet with children in his Holiday Cottage, located opposite the Conservatory, at scheduled times during each session. Visits with Santa are available as space and time permits.

“Westchester County is filled with holiday traditions, and the Lasdon Holidays on the Hill Train Show is one not to be missed,” Westchester County
Executive George Latimer said. “Kids and adults will make lasting memories walking through the many holiday scenes and taking pictures with Santa.”
Westchester County Parks Commissioner Kathy O’Connor said, “The Lasdon Holidays on the Hill Train Show never disappoints. Thank you to our
hard working and creative staff for making it an even bigger show this season.”

Tickets will be sold online only with scheduled viewing times, and no tickets will be sold on site. Tickets are available through Dec. 31. Admission is $20 per adult, $10 per child and admission is free for children ages 2 and under. The cost for senior citizens, age 62 and older, is $15. The Holidays on the Hill Annual
Train Show will be open as scheduled, rain or shine.

The exhibit is presented by Westchester County Parks and the Friends of Lasdon Park and Arboretum with support from SavATree in Bedford Hills, and Prospero Nursery and Masonry in White Plains. Lasdon Park, Arboretum and Veterans Memorial is a Westchester County Park located on Route 35
in Somers. The GPS address is 2610 Amawalk Road, Katonah, NY 10536. For more information, visit the Friends of Lasdon Park and Arboretum website at lasdonpark.org or call 864-7268.
