1. Slip Down McWane Science Center’s Ice Slide
No trip to McWane Science Center is complete without a venture down the slide—especially the ice slide. Could there be a cooler way to travel through McWane’s magical winter wonderland?

The slippery action takes place November 23-January 5, 2020.
2. Soar Through the Air on a Winterland Zipline
The ice slide is not the only activity offering adventure at McWane Science Center. Also opening November 23 is the zipline which takes you on a speedy thrill ride.
3. Climb Aboard the Magic of Model Trains Exhibit
Next stop, the Magic of Model Trains exhibit. Choo Choo!
This is the 14th consecutive year that the Magic of Model Trains has chugged its way into the hearts of those in Birmingham. Holidays at McWane featuring Magic of Model Trains is presented by Royal Cup for the 10th year. And this year, the exhibit is expected to be better than ever.
The exhibit showcases over a dozen unique displays with trains of every shape and size chugging along its tracks.
What’s especially cool is that each track is designed to scale. And let me tell you, the details are unbelievable! From covered bridges and downtown storefront to figurines waiting at the train station, no detail is overlooked.
Bonus: You’ll have the opportunity to be an engineer and operate some of the trains. So be sure to break out your conductor hat!
Who are the masterminds behind this impressive annual train exhibit? The Wrecking Crew Model Railroad Club. Learn more.
The tracks come alive on November 23, 2019 and will keep on chugging until January 5, 2020.
Exhibit price is included in general admission. Tickets here.
The choo choo fun doesn’t stop with the Magic of Model Trains exhibit. Wish you could ride a train just like in the exhibit? You can! Just hop aboard the McWane Train and keep the magic flowing. This three-car train ventures along an exciting holiday-themed ride around 200 feet of track.
