The holiday season is full of family traditions, and the Holiday Train Show is one of the most eagerly awaited.
Wrapped in the glow of twinkling lights, model trains and trolleys zip along over bridges and on winding tracks past scaled replicas of New York landmarks made by award-winning designer Paul Busse. Orange slices, cinnamon sticks, poppy pods, pine cones, and other plant parts are used to create the more than 140 architectural reproductions in the Garden's collection.
Highlights
- Stars of the show: Steam engines and streetcars, whimsical ladybugs and modern freight trains traverse under waterfalls, around mountains, and through tunnels.
- Annual favorites: Empire State Building, Little Red Lighthouse, Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty, and more return to thrill visitors of all ages.
- The original Pennsylvania Station (1910–1964), this year’s blockbuster addition
- Brooks Brothers flagship store, located at 346 Madison Avenue
- Gingerbread Adventures: Hands-on activities for kids, including decorating gingersnap cookies; discovering the Earthly treasures of cinnamon, ginger, and cloves; and creating a field notebook in the Everett Children’s Adventure Garden
- The Little Engine That Could™: Puppet theater presentations in the Arthur and Janet Ross Lecture Hall
- Thomas the Tank Engine™: An opportunity to meet and take pictures with the popular Thomas on the Garden grounds, January 2–10
