Start the holiday season with a festive visit to the Volunteer Park Conservatory for our annual Holiday Open House!

The Seattle Parks & Recreation and the Friends of the Conservatory staff invite you to the unveiling of the annual seasonal display complete with the “Volunteer Park Express” model train and poinsettia display in the Seasonal House.

If you’re new to the community, add this holiday tradition to your calendar to get in the holiday spirit. It’ll be chilly outside but warm and cheery in the Conservatory.

Bring your family, friends, or someone special to share this experience with you!

Donations are welcome to help support this public event.

The “Volunteer Park Express” model train will operate on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from open to close. Plan your visit during these days to see the train in action!

Please be respectful of the volunteer train engineer’s instructions and be careful with this special display so that it continues to run year after year. Please note: the Conservatory will close at 3:00 pm instead of 4:00 pm on select holidays and dates.

We look forward to welcoming you at the Conservatory during the holiday season and hope you enjoy the transformed Seasonal House!
