Thursday, October 16th, 2008Perfect excursion for dad and kids!
All aboard The Golden Gate Express™ for a San Francisco holiday experience like no other!
This winter, Golden Gate Park’s Conservatory of Flowers
premieres its first garden railway exhibition. It’s a celebration of the
city of San Francisco as model G-gauge trains wend their way through a lush
landscape of dwarf plants and steam past mini versions of the city’s
landmark buildings. From Mission Dolores to the Golden Gate Bridge, Coit
Tower to Chinatown’s dragon gate, replicas of San Francisco’s most famous
places are set amongst miniature gardens and parks to create a magical
setting for this special holiday attraction. Visitors will also enjoy a
vintage train station seating area, appearances by costumed conductors and
interpretive materials about the development of San Francisco and its
railways. So, gather the family and get on track. The Conservatory of
Flowers’ Golden Gate Express™ is a must see destination for the holidays!
