Wise Avenue Volunteer Fire Co — Local services in Dundalk

This place was pretty cool for a Christmas train garden! They had a wide variety of Christmas houses which my wife loved, a few local display items, and lots of generalized fun.

It's amazing to watch. I take my kids now and travel over an hour to get there one way. It's so fun even if there's a crowd. During busy times just be patient and knew there's more to see while you wait for the...

Let me start off by saying thank you for all you do firefighters. Having said that there was definitely something missing on this year's display.. I enjoy seeing the train pulling the different year car's behind it - this year it was missing. I also felt like there was less motion in the scenes than past years. The trains that were running seemed to be branded.. no classics like...
