The New York Botanical Garden’s Holiday Train Show, one of New York City's top seasonal attractions for families, opens Saturday, November 21 in the Bronx.
Little electric trains whiz by more than 150 NYC landmarks made out of acorns, twigs, bark, berries and leaves at this elaborate show. The 2015-2016 edition of the annual spectacle includes 3,000 extra square feet of tracks, trains and bridges, as well as a multi-sensory finale in the Conservatory's Reflecting Pool, plus a brand-new model of the New York Public Library. The landmarks and nearly a half-mile of train track of years past will also be on display.
My family and I make it a point to go every year as it's truly a quintessential New York holiday experience. There's a reason it's No. 53 on our list of the top 100 things to do with kids in NYC.
