New York Botanical Garden's "Holiday Train Show"

New York Botanical Garden's "Holiday Train Show" Is Bigger Than Ever: See Mini NYC Landmarks & More

Step inside The New York Botanical Garden's annual "Holiday Train Show", where large-scale model trains zip around you on their nearly half-mile journey around New York City in miniature, all under the twinkling glow of the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory. Visionary artist Paul Busse and his team created a world filled with tiny tourist attractions like the Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty and Rockefeller Center -- 150 replicas in all -- intricately crafted with bark, leaves and other natural materials. Much more than just a train show, this is a unique melding of art, nature, science and imagination that "The New York Times" calls "one of New York City's best holiday gifts to itself." This year's "Holiday Train Show" features 3,000 square feet of additional exhibition space, with dozens of new trains, bridges and tracks, plus a short behind-the-scenes film and a stunning finale of light and sound.
