All aboard! The Paul Busse Garden Railway is arriving at Conservatory station.

9 G scale model trains travel across 1,122 feet of track that runs high and low through themed destinations: Fairytale Land, Wild West Town, European Travels and the animal-centric Who Lives Here.

Guests can journey with the trains through a miniature world of 51 botanical models made from all-natural plant material. Special elements to add to your itinerary include an enchanted tree hollow, two waterfalls, a bubbling brook and plantings specific to each themed destination.

Paul Busse Garden Railway opens April 25, 2026.

David Rogers’ Big Bugs brings the hidden world of insects to breathtaking scale.

Big Bugs opens June 6, 2026 and will be on display through September 20, 2026.
