Description
After more than three decades, the Holiday Train Show continues to delight, as New York City’s favorite winter tradition and a can’t-miss adventure. The timeless magic of rail travel fills NYBG with seasonal cheer as model trains travel over famous bridges and through familiar City settings, bringing nearly 200 twinkling landmark replicas—including new surprises for 2025/2026—to life under the glass of the warm and welcoming Enid A. Haupt Conservatory. Get up close to see these miniature masterpieces, each one meticulously crafted from plant parts such as palm fronds, pinecones, and cinnamon sticks, fusing horticulture with design throughout the exhibition. Outside, explore a glowing mountain-scape brimming with even more trains and picture-perfect moments. Holiday Train Nights offer a premium, elevated nighttime experience designed for those who want a more atmospheric, after-dark celebration.
