This is the 34th season for the New York Botanical Garden’s Holiday train show. For our little group (which added two new train aficionados) it was the third season. Upon departing after a wonderful few hours of laughter and amazement of the artistry of this exhibit we all committed to doing it again next year. To add to the beauty of the train show Mother Nature gave us a beautiful Sunday snowfall which made this special place even more enchanting. The show runs through January 11th. I encourage you to attend. All aboard!

The New York Botanical Garden is back with their sensational train show. This year there is a new fun feature outside the Conservatory. This was the first time I attended with a zany family that included three kids. It made the visit even more special. Get aboard – the trains can be seen through January 15, 2024.

I like trains. Admittedly I had never been to the holiday train show at the New York Botanical Garden but decided this year to do it. It is extraordinary. My socks were almost knocked off my feet. I was the first one to enter this marvelous exhibit and had most of it to myself for about 30 minutes. I was blown away by the detail and the amount of work that had gone into making this show. There are more than two dozen model trains and trolleys making their way past nearly 200 miniature NYC landmarks, all made out of natural materials like leaves, seeds, twigs, bark and acorns. The show is on until January 23rd. I know you will enjoy it and encourage you to go during the week to avoid what surely will be enormous crowds. All aboard!
