Holly Jolly Days

Holly Jolly Days brings the magic of the season to the Behringer-Crawford Museum with interactive displays that kids and adults alike will enjoy. The centerpiece is the 35th annual Holiday Toy Trains exhibit, featuring eight Lionel model trains running along 250 feet of track with 30 animated accessories. Push buttons throughout the display to trigger fun surprises—summon a firefighter sliding down a pole, animate miniature animals, or even launch a UFO cow abduction scene. Beyond the trains, explore Wahoo's Winter Wonderland, an animated display inspired by local author Diana Grady's children's book about a dog's snowy adventure through miniature versions of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky landmarks. You'll also discover "Think Small: Anything Can Be a Miniature," showcasing detailed room boxes made from everyday repurposed items. General admission is $12 for adults, $10 for seniors (60+), and $5 for children ages 3–17; kids under 3 and museum members enter free. The museum is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. throughout the season.
