\"Evegreen<\/a>This season’s\u00a0Holiday Train Show<\/a><\/em>\u00ae\u00a0is on view through January 18, but Evergreen Express<\/a>\u00a0continues to provide\u00a0seasonal family fun in the Everett Children\u2019s Adventure Garden<\/a> through January 24. Kids\u00a0pass through station stops during their visit, each featuring a unique and educational activity\u00a0designed to explore the world of evergreens.<\/p>\n

In the cozy Discovery Center Depot, children make their own herbarium pressings of a conifer specimen and craft a miniature scented sachet to take home. The Adventure Garden is full of trails that guide children through the trees and shrubs of winter.<\/p>\n

There is\u00a0an outdoor puppet theater available for children, and on weekends and school holidays, kids can create a train puppet inspired by master puppeteer Ralph Lee<\/strong> and join a musical marching parade.<\/p>\n

Evergreen Express<\/a> takes place Tuesdays through Sundays in\u00a0the Adventure Garden, from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. on weekdays and Sundays, and from 1:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Saturday.<\/p>\n
