Glowworms Light Up the Night for Kids’ Train Adventure

Last night, children in Woodland Valley had a magical experience on the first-ever Glowworm Night Train! The event was organized by the Friendly Forest Railway, who turned their tiny train carriages into sparkling tunnels of light. Families climbed aboard as the sun set, and the journey began through the leafy, moonlit woods. To everyone’s amazement, thousands of glowworms shimmered along the train tracks, lighting up the path like sparkling fairy lights! The conductor, Mr. Badger, explained how the glowworms naturally shine to communicate with each other and keep everyone safe in the dark. As the train chugged gently along, kids listened to stories about the science behind glowing animals and even got to wear special bracelets that glowed in the dark. Snacks included “glow-in-the-dark” lemon jelly and star-shaped cookies. At the end of the journey, each child received a Glowworm Explorer badge to celebrate their adventure. Organizers hope to run the Glowworm Night Train again soon. So if you missed it, keep your eyes out for twinkling lights next time you’re in Woodland Valley at night!
