The New York Botanical Garden
The New York Botanical Garden’s Holiday Train Show returns for its 34th year! Model trains zip through a miniature wonderland of nearly 200 New York landmark replicas, each re-created from natural materials such as leaves, seeds, twigs, bark, acorns, and cinnamon sticks.
A new miniature masterpiece joins this year’s Holiday Train Show lineup: a botanical replica of the recently reopened and renovated Delacorte Theater, longtime home to The Public Theater’s Shakespeare in the Park.
Reserve in advance—it's been known to sell out. For an extra special treat, check out Holiday Train Nights!
