The Farm will be open for self-guided exploration of the Farm, inviting you to meet and learn about our sheep, alpacas, horses, & goats. Yard games & sidewalk chalk will be out for your enjoyment.
Brandywine Railroad at Brandywine River Museum
A holiday favorite since 1972, the Brandywine Railroad features trains running on 2,000 feet of track and contains more than 1,000 pieces, including locomotives, passenger and freight trains, and trolleys that pass through a small village, a farm, factories, a drive-in movie theater, and even a carnival.
A dazzling array of both toy and scale model trains can be seen chugging through the varied scenery, including those made by Lionel, Williams, Atlas, Mike’s Train House, K-line and others. Interactive components are also incorporated into the display to allow for further engagement.
As we ring in the new year, we’re pausing to reflect on the moments that mattered most in 2023! We invite you and your family to revisit the classics in our collection and to create new masterpieces and memories at our artmaking stations. Catch special performances by Latin fusion band Guachinangos throughout the afternoon and be sure to see Marie Laurencin: Sapphic Paris before it closes on January 21. Access to the collection and special exhibition is free, but registration is required.
December 16th -January 14th
Disney’s Finding Nemo JR. is a 60-minute musical adaptation of the beloved 2003 Pixar movie Finding Nemo, with new music by award-winning songwriting team Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. Marlin, an anxious and over-protective clownfish, lives in the Great Barrier Reef with his kid Nemo, who longs to explore the world beyond their anemone home. But when Nemo is captured and taken to Sydney, Marlin faces his fears and sets off on an epic adventure across the ocean. With the help of lovable characters such as optimistic Dory, laid-back sea turtle Crush, and the supportive Tank Gang, Marlin and Nemo both overcome challenges on their journey to find each other and themselves.
