4 • Milwaukee County Post • January 19, 2018 Post Staff MILWAUKEE — "Railroad to Wonderland," a garden train show, will take visitors on a trip to a land that becomes curi- ouser and curiouser, to channel Alice in Wonderland. The show opens Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the Mitchell Park Domes, 524 S. Layton Blvd. It runs through March 18. The take on the popular annual train show will fea- ture scenes and themes from novels by C. S. Lewis. G-scale trains will wind their way on four sets of track along the quiet river- bank near Alice's house, down the rabbit hole, and through the looking glass to the world of the White Rabbit, Cheshire Cat, Mad Hatter and Queen of Hearts. "What makes producing the garden train show so much fun is seeing its cross- generational appeal," Sandy Folaron, director of The Domes, said in a news release. "Our visitors range from the toddlers thrilled with Thomas the Tank Engine to folks with years of experience creating their own train layouts in the basement or garden." Fifteen scenes will high- light chapters from the books "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass." Just like Alice, the plants vary in size, from miniature to larger-than-life. Included in the brilliantly colored landscape will be red and white miniature tree-form azaleas, multicol- ored "Total Madness" petu- nias, purple and white "Whiskers" pansies, and bright orange "Dynamite cyphea." At the opposite end of the scale will be two giant-sized topiaries shaped as flamingoes, with plumage represented by "Pink Splash" hypoestes. Featured scenes are the miniature castle, complete with the Queen's Croquet- Ground, and the life-sized tea party. In 2017, nearly 78,000 peo- ple attended the garden train show, making it the most popular show of the year. Volunteers from three statewide train clubs — WI Garden Railroad, Kenosha Railroad and Wisconsin Illinois Train Club — will run their collectible trains daily.
