What is Olbrich's Holiday Express? Members of the Wisconsin Garden Railway Society come from all over the state to show off their large-scale model trains during Olbrich's Holiday Express. You'll see different trains, depending on the day. This year, trains wind through an enchanted land of whimsical birdhouses. Visit Olbrich's Holiday Express Behind-the-Scenes to the changes as Olbrich's Atrium is transformed from an empty room to a magical winter wonderland. Energy-Efficient Holiday Lights Evergreen trees in the show are decorated with energy-efficient LED lights, which use 90 percent less energy than typical incandescent holiday lights. Strollers Strollers are not allowed in Olbrich's Holiday Express. Please enjoy the show with children on foot. Stroller parking is available in Olbrich's Lobby, and strollers are permitted in the Bolz Conservatory and outdoor gardens. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Also at Olbrich Visit the tropical Bolz Conservatory, a glass pyramid filled with exotic plants, bright flowers, a rushing waterfall, fragrant orchids and free-flying birds. Olbrich's Growing Gifts shop is loaded with garden-related gifts for friends and family. Stroll the outdoor gardens. Colorful bark, berries, and the Thai Pavilion stand out against the snow. Enjoy festive holiday music on Sunday afternoons at 2 p.m. during December. Olbrich's Holiday Concert Series features holiday music for the entire family!
