10 Tips to Make the Most Out of Viewing Holiday Lights
Krohn Conservatory Holiday Show
There are certain traditions that I look forward to each year and a visit to the Krohn Conservatory is one of them. Each year they have a great Holiday Show that features beautiful plants and a train display. The Krohn Conservatory showcases over 3500 species of plant life from around the world.
This year’s theme ” A Cincinnati Scenic Railway,” is even bigger with new Cincinnati landmarks displayed. (the Tyler Davidson Fountain, riverboat replica, and the Moerlein Lager House––included within the bridges and trains display in the main trains display in the main exhibit room.)
The Holiday Show will run through Sunday, January 5, 2014.
Here are a few additional attractions to enjoy this year.
• Six interactive elements increase the enjoyment of the amazing train display, and allows the children to have a hands-on experience.
• The display also includes the traditional poinsettia display, the LIVE Western & Southern Crib of Nativity, and special events planned throughout the run of the show.
• NEW THIS YEAR ! The Schmalz Family Holiday Village
In addition, a new display of vintage holiday decorations given to the Krohn this year by the Schmalz Family brings back fond memories of holidays past for some, and are sure to brighten the eyes of the little ones. This amazing collection includes “Motionettes” (those moving characters) that were featured in the windows of Shillito’s and Pogue’s years ago and delighted generations during the holiday season….and much more!
You can also enjoy these special events that are included with the price of admission.
