There are many ways in the Yakima Valley to create new holiday memories: the Drive-Thru Holiday Light Fest, numerous places to meet with Santa, the lighted parades, just to name a few. One that not only will create new memories, but also take you back in time, is located in the heart of Toppenish, Washington. The Toy Train Christmas!

“All Aboard!” Final Weekend For The Toy Train Christmas in Toppenish, Washington

 

“Toy Train Christmas is intended to bring back the days of old when toy trains were common around the Christmas tree.”

This is a feast for the eyes and great for all ages. This is an amazing event that will create memories in the young and rekindle nostalgia in the young at heart. This weekend (December 17th and 18th) is the final stop for the holidays.

It starts at 10am and runs until 4pm both Saturday and Sunday, with a walk through the museum, seeing all scales of model and toy trains complete with model towns and villages. Of course, your experience through history wouldn’t be complete without hot chocolate and cookies plus a train ride to visit Santa!
