The New York Botanical Garden’s Holiday Train Show celebrates its 20th anniversary this year and and as always, is a favorite around the holidays for people of all ages. The Enid A. Haupt Conservatory houses the model trains that cross over bridges and past replicas of New York landmarks made of plant parts such as nuts, bark, and leaves. Some of the favorites of the show include the original Yankee Stadium, Statue of Liberty, and Brooklyn Bridge.
New addition to the train show
Artist’s Studio – a look at how the replicas are constructed. Models in different stages of completion will show how a structure destined for the Holiday Train Show is framed and begins taking shape through the addition of plant material. Photos, interpretive panels, tools, and supplies help tell the story of how the magic comes together.
