I always loved walking through there during Xmas time. Do they still have the trains?

Do you mean Amtrak & Metro? If so, absolutely. If you mean a miniature model set, I've never seen one.

They used to have model trains there in the SW corner of the station. No idea when they stopped, I haven't been in there regularly since middle school.

They had the model trains up through the mid-2010s at least! I remember seeing them when I was still using Amtrak to visit family over the holidays.

Ha at first I thought this was a joke about how empty Union Station has become.

I'd like an answer to this as well. They didn't have it in 2020 or 2021 IIRC

The miniatures. I know Metro and Amtrak still go through there.

If you're missing trains, the Botanic Gardens have a free Train exhibit every year. It's also free.

Thanks! I could probably make it over there after Thanksgiving.

It won't open until after thanksgiving, but it's pretty neat. There are no reservations like there are at Zoolights, so a line is likely to be there.
