There will be fun for the whole family.

The crowd favorite, Choo Choo Express will be back offering trackless train rides through the garden, and a bounce house will also be on site adding to the children’s excitement.
Dosey Dough will be tossing together lunch and Parker County Shaved Ice Company will have cool treats.
Admission prices are: $10 for adults, $8 for seniors (65 & older), and $5 for kids (4-12). Children 3 and under get in free. Clark Gardens Members receive free admission by showing their membership card. No free passes or reciprocal memberships will be honored at this event.
Being raised by a father that worked as a train engineer, this event holds a special place in garden founder, Max Clark’s heart. Mr. Clark’s passion for trains lead to Clark Gardens very own G-Scale train station - The Clark Station. One of his favorite things about the Clark Station is the city diorama of Weatherford and Minerals Wells.
When Mr. Clark was asked what he enjoys most about the Train Show he explained it was “the delight that the public gets out of it.” He added that “seeing the happiness” is worth hosting the show each year.
Clark Gardens will open up for the fall season on September 1st and is open daily, along with The Clark Station, through November 26th.
